The last couple of days I have had my nephew Bruce staying over at my place. Bruce has been visiting his family in Esperance on a short visit from his home in The Hamptons in NY. We, Kev, Bruce and my Bro Graham, had two evenings with quite a few drinks and lots of laughs. Yesterday we went into Fremantle and visited a quite wonderful store named Twisted Sisters. It is full of hippie gear and Bruce selected clothes for himself and his wife Tam for the upcoming Halloween weekend. The store owner served him and almost every item was knocked down by 50%. I personally couldn’t see myself wearing any of that gear that I remember from my youth, and I know that Bruce and Tam will probably wear their outfits only once in public and save them for home and barbecues.

Later we went on a Fremantle Jail tour. Most interesting. It has not been in use since it closed in 1991. It was commissioned in the 1850s and used to incarcerate men and women over 136 years. The current prisons in Western Australia must seem like holiday camps compared to the conditions prisoners endured at Fremantle.
