The next day we were on Jerry's tours. He knows all there is to know about the region and took us to places that we would never had seen if we were doing this by ourselves. How nice is he and treated us to some great fish (shark) and chips. We saw Manta Rays coming up close and personal on one of the beaches people in the sea were feeding them and touching them.. Visited a few Vineyards, eating the grapes off the vines he he!!!!

Had a good look around here, went to the WACA cricket ground, and Kings Park for a view over the city, Brill... Later that night we returned to Kings Park for night views of the city and a picnic in the park with Mizza & Rhys...
