About Me

My photo
Perth/Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia
An independent, working woman, I live in a riverside suburb close to both Fremantle and Perth. Having lived in Perth for over thirty years it's obvious that I love the place, though there are still things that irritate and make me squirm with embarrassment. Occasionally they will make an appearance; but generally speaking this is a pretty good place to live.

Werribee Mansion

The history of European settlement is still very new in Australia when compared with the centuries that span countries such as Spain, France, Russia and many others. However a visit to Werribee Mansion, just outside Melbourne, is an interesting slice of the settlement history of Victoria.

 
Two brothers became very successful farmers and highly respected members of society. Werribee Mansion, part of which is now a 5 star hotel, sits on ten acres of land and boasts its own zoo as well as the State Rose Garden.
