Mandurah Western Australia

Twas a great feeling travelling on the new Perth to Mandurah train line,after 45 mins we arrived in the now very busy town of Mandurah.When we first came to Australia in 1982 we would go to this place and catch mud crabs and the population was very low,lots of shacks for seasonal fishermen were the order of the day and little tinnies (boats) were aplenty on this then barren land in the hope large feeds of crabs would be caught.Sadly tourism has now caught up in this once sleepy fishing village and the place has been built up immensley to include great shopping centres and hotels.I feel crabbing is no longer the mainstay recreational outing it once was !! Some of these pictures taken on the train travelling from Midlan toPerth to Mandurah approx 100 kms each way Next blog the last days in Perth before catching the Red Eye to Hervey Bay
