Fremantle twilight tour












The six of us including Haylie followed Vickery House trip to Fremantle Prison last Friday and it was a night tour and that's why they called it a twilight tour. There were 50 of us in which 25 residents were from Vickery House and another 25 were from Student Guilt House. Firstly, I thought it was a tunnel tour in which visitors were allowed to explore and experience the spooky side of Fremantle Prison and to cam whore the spirits if only we could. Right after the tour, I realised my thought was obviously so wrong, it was actually a doing time tour like what we had done at Fremantle Prison few months ago. The only differences I can spot were the time, a free torchlight that we could take back as a souvenir, addition of extra roles played by the staffs and the officer has a big black moustache and he is a white man. We have already knew the story lines but we didn't expect of the night time staffs who played the roles of prisoners regarding each story that the officer told us. At first, there was a dead puppet which were being thrown from the top onto a net which was hung approximately about 30cm above us. It wouldn't be that scary without the shrieking sound of the staff who threw the dead puppet from the top of the building. And yes, most of the people got scared by the sudden scream and the so called "already-set-when-to-drop" puppet to scare the visitors until they pee at their pants. As we moved on, everyone was like sticking much more closer to the officer when he was doing some explanation in a more detailed way based on each story-line. Later then, there were two more crazy prisoners who I called them wierdos, came out from somewhere else and they did yell at us over and over again. They often grimaced gruesomely with their face expressions twisted fantastically. They remembered me of a tv series I used to watch while I was about the age of 8, "Are you afraid of the dark?" *rofl!

After 2 hours of the incredibly tedious prison tour, Jared sent us to the nearby Fish n' Chips store to have our dinner late at 9.30 pm. Well, I only had a cup of hot chocolate to kill the severe pain caused by period pain in order to warm up my stomach during the chilling winter night. Finally, we left Fremantle to Bentley at ten o' clock and it was the most disappointing trip I have ever had in my past 17.75 years. :(
