Fremantle
– WALYALUP
IN FREMANTLE / WALYALUP, BECOME CAPTIVATED BY A SPIRITED MARITIME CITY
RADIATING CULTURE AND CHARACTER.
THERE’S SOMETHING IN the
air of Fremantle that sends a
ripple of creativity, culture, and
connection pulsing through the
streets. Perhaps it’s the salty
westerly blowing in from the

A dive into Fremantle history and
heritage wouldn’t be complete
without a tour of the infamous
Fremantle Prison. This UNESCO
World Heritage-listed building
