thanks

I just signed for bigpond ADSL. not very good and at the end, not cheap too. Used it for 1 day and already upgraded to the next level coz I hit the limit.
Anyway, now no option.
What I would like to do now is to get a seperate VOIP service.
I do not want to pay big monthly installments. Any recommendation. Thanks

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I can't admit ever looking for or noticing a beach there. If one exists it's not exactly made prominent prob cos it'd be nth or sth freo, and they aren't exactly tourist spots. Fremantle is a port city, so not exactly a prestige swimming area. It's more well known for the 'cappacino strip' and dining and pubs.

Cottesloe and scarborough beaches are more well known/patronised. Observation city hotel at scarb beach is a 4 or 5 star hotel if thats what you're after, and is a beachfront location.

Hi there,

There are plenty of beaches to choose from in and around the freo area (Freo and surrounding areas), however the houses/appartments etc here are usually set back a bit, so you might get a sea view or glimpse of the sea. Most of Freo is walkable to the beach, but personally cycle or catch the train to Cottesloe or Leighton beach.

Was it a hotel you were looking for? The Esplanade is a nice hotel, I heard that it's had a referb recently too.

This is a link to a hotel in Scarborough

I haven't stayed in any of the places mentioned, so can't really comment on how they fair.

Otherwise, you can stay in serviced appartments, which may have views....take a look at www.ozstays.com

Good luck.
