Fremantle Prison

One of our favourite spots in the Perth region is the southern suburb of Fremantle. It is at the mouth of the Swan River and is home to Western Australia's oldest port. The first British settlers (convicts) to arrive throughout the 19th century would have first set foot on Western Australia's soil via the Fremantle port. Consequently, it is rich with history. The streets are littered with beautiful limestone buildings, cobblestone roads, a boardwalk along the waterfront, and a friendly and lively atmosphere.
