Back to Fremantle today, we went to the Shipwreck Museum (free entry, small, but very good) and the Maritime Museum ($15/ticket, larger than the Shipwreck Museum but not very good, and as far as I can tell none of the exhibits have had the statistics they mentioned in the descriptions updated since the early 2000s). The Maritime Museum had a couple of interesting bits about things during World War II, and there was an Oberon-class submarine in dry dock that was cool, but you had to pay extra to go on it as a part of a tour. I also got a margarita focaccia and custard tart from a place called Common Bakery and OH MY GOD they were SO GOOD. The focaccia was absolutely perfect and the toppings were completely fresh.

Today we walked to the art museum which was fantastic (I took some photos with the DSLR, processing will come later), and then went to the Museum of Western Australia which is REALLY good, and _massive_ and we didn't actually end up going fully through all of it because we wanted to get home and chill before heading out to see @ohthyme. There's a newer part built on top of an older building, and from street level it honestly looks like the new part is somehow hovering above the old, it's such a cool effect. Also, it's not a real museum unless it has a GIANT dinosaur, and this one definitely delivered.
