freo with f-i-l


by fil... i mean father-in-law - steve

i'm pretty sure all his dreams came true in a matter of just a few hours as we trekked around freo yesterday afternoon
and took him to the:
-bon scott statue (on the fremantle fishing harbour)

-the bon scott memorial (at fremantle cemetery)

-and the fremantle prison (where ac/dc shot their
jail break video clip)

and personally i think i was much cheaper than
the highway to hell tour!
and a lot more fun!!

p.s. steves favaourite story to tell everyone is pretty damn good - so i am going to share it - bon scott (as most of you probably know) was the long time leading frontman of legendary aussie rock group ac/dc - who passed away in 1980. he is from perth and has a memorial at fremantle cemetery... where i quite often get to go through work (again... for those of you possible randoms reading my blog - i am a funeral director) one day i am at the cemetery running between funerals and some random passes me and says "excuse me - do you know where i could find bon scott?" jade - "ummm - does he work here - one of the gardeners?" random - "you're kidding me right? bon scott... leadman of ac/dc? he is memorialised here..." jade - "right... nope, no idea - ask at the front office" and i walk off...

he's never let me live it down
