'til I hitched a ride on the Riverboat Queen

I caught the ferry to South Perth today, just for the hell of it.

Although the journey lasts only 10 minutes, there's always something exciting about a boat trip.

As the little catamaran skimmed up to the Perth foreshore, and the hullaballoo of the assembled kiddies, pensioners, tourists and malcontents reached a crescendo, you'd be forgiven for thinking the QEII was pulling into port.
