2/4/23 – Fremantle Market & Nambung National Park

It was a hot one today!! Thank goodness for cloud cover as we walked to the Fremantle Market which takes place every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday except for a couple public holidays. The market has been a staple of Fremantle since the late 1800’s. Vendors include everything from food & drink to toys, jewelry, clothing, crystals, teas & coffees, ointments, lotions, etc! After a couple hours in the market and on the streets around the market we returned to our house and prepared for our journey to Nambung National Park where we first visited Lake Thetis which houses ancient (3500+ years old!) “stromatolites” and then made our way to the Pinnacles Desert where “pinnacles” or “limestone pillars” of various shapes & sizes rise above a sandy, tan-colored soil. Amazing!! I have never seen anything like the “stromatolites” or the “pinnacles”!! On our 3 hour drive back to our Fremantle house we had to take a detour due to a brush fire.

  1. Very cool pics, Robin most impressed with the stromatolites and of course the pinnacles. And apparently the stromatolites are pretty much only found in Australia. Nice.
