For the past two weeks, Freo has been having the 105th annual Fremantle Festival. The festival had over 70 events- but we only attended a few of them. Last Sunday we ran in the Port-to-Port Fun Run. This was the first-annual race to raise money for Redkite, an association providing support for children who have cancer and their families. Julie and I ran 4K and Kara ran 12K. It was my first race since highschool cross country :)

This past weekend we attended a street market, a quilt show, the Aboriginal festival, and the street parade to conclude the festival. There were heaps of people at the parade and quite a fun atmosphere.

On Sunday evening, we attended David Faulkner’s concert at the Fremantle Art Centre. He is a famous rock musician from Perth who plays with the Hoodoo Gurus, a popular rock band from the 1980’s. It was a solo concert- just him rather than the whole band. He talked a lot about starting his career, the stories behind his songs, and played some of his favorite songs. It was a small group- with less than 150ish people in the audience, so it felt more intimate.
