Day 77 Sunday 28th August   Rob’s 60th birthday

We all had a bit of a slow start to the morning after our big night out. None of us needed much to eat for breakfast. Rob was busy taking phone calls and opening gifts for today was his actual birthday even though we celebrated it last night. We finally organised ourselves late in the morning and headed down to the Freemantle Prison. All of us except Steve(having worked in prisons, he didn't need to see this one)  decided to do a tour. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt so much about this prison which was first built in 1855 to house the convicts who were sent out to work in the penal settlement of WA. It later became the Freemantle Prison and was closed in 1991. All around Freemantle there is evidence of the work that the convicts did in construction of different buildings. After this interesting excursion we visited the Freemantle Markets which were very busy. We had a good look around and found some interesting food for lunch. Heather, Paul and Rob then went to visit a micro - brewery while Jas and I continued to check out the markets with Jasmine purchasing 2 pairs of some very quirky shoes. Late in the afternoon we returned to the caravan park. Everyone came into our annexe for tea as we had been given containers of the food we had been unable to eat from the restaurant the night before and of course there was left-over cake. We ended up having a good dinner. This was followed by a game of &Pass the Pigs&. Rob had recieved this as a gift for his birthday and we had lots of fun playing it.
