Hillarys - Sorrento Quay Entrance The entrance sign to Hillarys Boat Harbour located on the corner of West Coast Highway and Hepburn Avenue. This marina, harbour and facilities was the brain-child of the Lombardo family (famed in Fremantle for their fishing and fine seafood produce). January 2009 |

Hillarys - Sorrento Quay Apartments These swish apartments must be great to live in apart from late night ex-pubbers and the inevitable car park hoons. The other side of this lot face onto a boardwalk next to the boat pens. Very pleasant aspect. January 2009 |
|
|
Hillarys - Sorrento Quay Beach The sheltered beach again this time looking north towards the amusement park. January 2009 |
|
|
Hillarys - Sorrento Quay Marina West of the shops etc are seemingly thousands of boat pens housing squillions of dollars worth of boats. Here are but a few. January 2009 |
|
|
Hillarys - Breakwater Tavern Looking across the kids beach to the west, here is the Breakwater Tavern. Haven't sampled is but it looks OK. January 2009 |
|
|
Hillarys - Sorrento Quay Shops Shops facing the south side of the marina. Nice car for rent there. Quiet at this time of day - 9.00am-ish on a weekday. It's a different story on weekends. January 2009 |
|
|
Hillarys - Sorrento Quay Shops Some of the shops in the Marina shopping complex. Further up there are wooden floors. You can see the water below through the cracks. January 2009 |
|
|
Hillarys - Sorrento Quay Fun Park Fantastic children's water playground. Quiet now at 9.00am but at peak times kids are lined up the steps in their hundreds waiting to whoooosh through those pipes on big inner-tubes right into the water at the bottom. Great fun. January 2009 |

Hillarys - AQWA More underwater creatures at AQWA. I'm not going to give the whole game away here in these photos. In the depths of AQWA is an amazing display of giant turtles, sharks and rays ... but to see you'll just have to go there! September 2010 |
