"Melstar" wrote in message ... Hi Gerrit, I had it on authority that the caves were really cool too! We have scheduled this in for our trip! Thanks! Mel Mel Take it from me, I have lived in WA for 50 years and the caves in the Yanchep National Park are not very special or very big. The caves around Margaret River in the south west of the state are much, much,much better! In the extreme south west there is the cave at Yallingup, the lake Cave and the Mammoth Cave near Margaret River and the Jewel Cave near Augusta. These are all worth visiting. Have a good trip.

Freeo is worth a visit even if you don't eat F@C. The Freeo "Doctor" (cool
wind) is always welcome on a stinking hot day in Perth. Cicrellos used to be much lower key than it was 12 months ago, a little upmarket for the commoners like me Still , excellent food at a reasonable price. I don't know of any comparable places on this side of the beach. Perth only has one drawback. Its so far away from the "rest of Australia" that its almost a foreign country Of course the sandgropers think that we're the foreign country ) Colin wrote in message ... The Pinnacles are worth seeing and you must visit Freemantle and have Fish and Chips at Cicrellos - delicous. Colin "Melstar" wrote in message ... My family and I are heading to sunny Perth for Christmas. Can anyone suggest great places to visit? We have already booked a few days just prior to Christmas at Margaret River. Thanks Mel |

In case anybody, like me, was wondering just where Cicrellos was located,
I looked it up in Lonely Planet. It's a converted wharf building down at Fishing Boat Harbour, on Mews Rd. Apparently there are a string of good restaurants here, including Japanese (Chunagon) and Fisherman's Kitchen. Anybody want to comment on these or others in the vicinity?

Anybody want to comment on these or others in the vicinity? Richard Not 100% sure but seem to recall that the building in which Cicerello's is was totally rebuilt some 3-4 years ago. Sure it looks like a wharf building but it isn't and never was. That doesn't mean that the F&C are bad. They are reasonably good. Ambience does the rest. There is another F&C place almost next door which isn't half as good as far as the F&C are concerned. The Japanese is sligfhtly upmarket and is supposed to be quite good. Fisherman's Kitchen is a F&C place in another building - smaller than both the other F&C places. I think their chips are better than Cicerello's. Ambience is zilch!! Next to Fisherman's Kitchen is the Scicilian. As the name suggests this is Italian. Pretty good. It has a licence to sell alchohol. In the same building is a McDonald's. Nough said. Upstairs is another restaurant (I think called Sails). Went there once for a work bash. (Used to work in Freo just accross the park from the Fishing Boat Harbour) Not impressed. Bit further along the harbour from Cicerello's is Joes Fish Shack. Pretty good. Fish based menu. About 200 metres walk from the FBH is the main eating area of Freo. Lots of choice. You'll have to go to see for yourself. Gerrit |

You're right Jim, the rest of the country is remote, and largely unexplored.
Perth is actually in a state that makes up over 32% of Australia. "Jim" wrote in message ... Freeo is worth a visit even if you don't eat F@C.
