City of Fremantle

The City of Fremantle combines maritime heritage with contemporary cultural life in a way that reflects its position between the Swan River and the Indian Ocean. Known as Walyalup to the Whadjuk Noongar people, it grew into the port of the Swan River Colony and remains closely tied to shipping, fishing and the sea. Limestone warehouses, Victorian-era streetscapes and busy harbour precincts give the centre a distinct character. Fremantle Prison, built by convicts and operating from 1855 to 1991, is part of the UNESCO-listed Australian Convict Sites. Markets, galleries, pubs and performance spaces keep the historic city active well beyond its waterfront.
