About Fremantle
Affectionately referred to as "Freo" by the locals, Fremantle is famous for its penal history, its cappuccino strip, the America's Cup in 1987 and heritage buildings from the 19th Century port town that it was. Located 19 km from Perth's heart, Fremantle sits on the Swan River, where it meets the Indian Ocean. A fleet of sleek white boats gracefully adorns the marina in the river; whilst the operating port area is a hive of grimy mammoth cranes, ship containers and bulky massive cargo carriers sometimes lined up offshore.
Freo is the place to explore what life may have been like for a criminal boxed up in a tiny cell in the Roundhouse, built in 1831 and Western Australia's oldest public building, albeit a prison. You can actually take tours of this notorious jail. Or, take a walk around what was once the mental asylum for women that is now The Fremantle Museum and Arts Center. Fremantle oozes the ghosts of pioneers, murderous mutineers and convict prisoners of its maritime past. It is the best-preserved 19th Century port streetscape. There is actually a Convict Walking Trail if you are really into delving deep into the historical landscape of the area.
History buffs are not the only ones to meander around Fremantle, as the area is a vibrant and dynamic one from morning to night with many eclectic cafes, bars, old-fashioned pubs and boutique designer shopping.
This is also where you can catch a ferry to nearby Rottnest Island for a bit of quokka spotting or island bicycle exploring.
