This was the highlight of our trip. We feel in love with Fremantle’s old architecture and Big Al was able to give us the stories behind these lovingly maintained streetscapes. He has a wealth of knowledge and his book full of drawings, paintings and photographs helps you to see back through the years at how the city has changed and grown. We loved the tour and would recommend it to anyone as Big Al will adapt his focus to suit your interests.

Queen Victoria granted John Septimus Roe 4,000 acres on the Swan River for services rendered to the British Crown. He planted the first vines in the Swan Valley in 1840. In terms of its contribution to Australian wine making, the Swan Valley ranks alongside the Barossa Valley and the Riverina. The Swan Valley has many more products apart from wine, such as the plump watermelons grown between the vines and a Swan Valley specialty, the luscious table grapes, full of fruit and flavor
4. Cossack
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 110 reviews
Situated at the heart of the Pilbara coastal region, Cossack is a town alive with history and culture. Just 50km from the modern city of Karratha, Cossack is a peaceful and tranquil spot. Stay in the comfortable B&B accommodation or one of the camping sites and explore the natural and man-made beauty of the local area. It is also a great base from which to explore the region’s highlights such as Roebourne, Point Samson, Millstream Chichester National Park and the Burrup Peninsula’s Murujuga National Park. The Cossack site features a popular café and souvenir shop, museum set amongst the town’s restored historical buildings. There are excellent walks, safe swimming and snorkelling in and around the stunning Settlers Beach. The fishing is hard to beat. Particularly if you get out on the water. Cossack Boat Hire offers a range of boats for hire, by the hour or day.

Decided to drive and have look on our way to Point Samson. It was really interesting to read about the history of Cossack town as you wondered through it.

The country area of Dumbleyung has so much to offer the visitor. Made famous by Donald Campbell's world speed record, the town has created a display of the replica of his boat (Bluebird) and the main street has an historical walk which includes a small museum featuing the local history of the area and its people. This is accessible at all hours by phoning a number for the entry code - very clever and convenient. Definitely worth spending a day here. The gardens are beautiful and well kept and there is a produce garden for the use of the locals and visitors to the caravan park ( clean and comfortable - run by the shire). Shops, coffee shops and the historic pub support the needs of the locals and visitors - highly recommended.

St George's Terrace, often referred to simply as 'the Terrace,' is Perth's center of business and commerce. Most important enterprises have their offices in the Terrace. While mining has been booming, the Terrace has been gaining in visibility. Buildings such as the St Martin's Tower, which was a giant in its day, have been dwarfed by the new structures. When seen from the Swan River, Perth indeed resembles a 'mini Manhattan.'
