Jack & Kate calling from Perth

Jack here. Yesterday we when to Fremantle Prison and saw what a old prison was like. It looked grim to be kept in(you had to stay in the cell for 15 hours a day) and it was three times the size of Alcatras! It only shut 15 years ago. We also saw the gallows and it was last used 1964 but the death penelty was still in use until 1984! In the solitary you were in your cell for 23 hours a day andthere was no light, the only time you got light was when you ate. Its also got tunnels that the prisoners made, that supplied water for the town at one stage.

We just bought a new car (a nissan patrol) its got a snorkle, winch and bull bars. We got a mp3 radio and we're going to get a UHF radio.

We just bought some new folding bikes and they're really cool!! They are proper mountain bikes and we can get them all in the back of the car easy.

Went to see an Aussi rules footy match on Sunday. Granny & Grandpa's friends' grandson was playing. Like rugby, but not. Played on an oval pitch with 4 posts at each end. Angus' team won easily!

School Has started and Jack and I have got a uniform we have designed our logo. Mum has got books for us and we do 2 and a half hours of school in the morning. We have to scooter around the block 2 times each morning before school. I am doing a Australian Bird Project and Jack is doing an Australian dangerous Creatures Project. We are both doing a geography project on where we will go when we get the caravan.
