Darren’s sister lives in Fremantle, in Hamilton Hill (or as the locals call it – Hammy Hill). She works as a tour guide taking bus tours up and down the coast of WA, sometimes for 10 days at a time. Fortunately when Darren got back to Perth, so did she, and kindly took a few days off to spend with ‘big bro’. Not only that, but she gave up her bedroom to us, her room mate being away at work while we were there.
She had another couple staying for the 1st night we were there, and we all went out in the evening for the birthday of one of her guests. Many of her friends are tour guides, so it was gold picking their brains about all the good spots we should be visiting as we travel up the coast. It was also gold to be out on a Friday night in a bar, overlooking Cottesloe beach, with clean hair, in my brand new $4 charity shop dress, complete with wedge sandals. I almost looked civilised.
We went for a few great swims with her at South beach in Fremantle, in the evenings all the locals, it seems, go down for a dip. It was so calm and clear we took to floating serenely on the top of the water, in between laughing our heads off! Darren and Fiona are definitely 2 peas from the same pod and it is always fun to see them together. (Awwww, bless!).
