We pulled into Freemantle | while the Midway scored Perth, but I am willing to bet we had more fun! | | v/r | Gordon Fremantle would have been an attractive city back then, I was first there in '86. When Australia won the Americas' Cup in '83, Fremantle was picked as the site for the defence in '87 and money came out of the woodwork to 'pretty' it up for the yacht races. Interestingly, there were stories in all of our media, the last time one of the CBGs wisited Perth, of all the brothels going onto a war footing during the visit. Before the last of the sailors left, several venues had to shut down for the health and safety of some of the girls. Apparently 5,000+ enthusiastic sailors and marines tends to 'drain' the resources of even the largest of establishments. Would be an interesting exercise on the Sydney-Melbourne-Adelaide to Perth flights, to spot the pinch hitters. Cheers Dave Kearton |
