The Richardson's Adventures

Our holiday to Western Australia was initiated from the idea of taking our boys on a extended holiday prior to starting school. We have been camping in tent's, and more recently we had a camper trailer for 3 years. While the camper trailer served us well ( over 30 camping trips ), we have upgraded to our off road caravan. The caravan makes life easier for the overnight stay, quick pack up, and it also has air conditioning. Our holidays have been booked for 2 1/2 years and we have been planning in some sort of fashion since. We have upgraded the car to give hassle free motoring, not to mention the great V8 rumble.

Maritime Museum, Fremantle

HMAS Ovens  (Oberon Class)  diesel electric patrol submarine

Gran and Pop didn't get to see the submarine last time they were in town, as it had not been opened yet.  Jacob also missed out on seeing the submarine last week as you had to be five and over for the tour.  So Steven took Gran, Pop and Jacob to Fremantle for a submarine tour.

Jacob was extremely excited about the submarine tour

Jacob couldn't wait to receive his lanyard with his ticket of entry on it

I didn't do it!  It wasn't ME!!!!

Steven said, Jacob had asked his first question on the tour.  Why does the submarine have wings?  The answer, "To help fly/navigate through the water".
