A BRIEF HISTORY The first inhabitants of Australia arrived from the north approximately 40,000 to 60,000 years ago. Prior to the arrival of Europeans, Western Australia was occupied solely by Indigenous Australians who had lived peacefully and in harmony with the land for tens of thousands of years. Indigenous Australians have a rich history and culture that is well worth exploring. Like so many Indigenous cultures of the 18th and 19th centuries, things were about to change. In March 1827, Captain James Stirling of the Royal Navy arrived in the Swan River and discovered a land that possessed great natural attractions, in contrast to the previous Dutch and French navigators who described New Holland (a name given to Australia by the Dutch) as sterile, forbidding and inhospitable.

This landing and subsequent report by Stirling to His Majesty’s Government back in England, led to the foundation of the Swan River Settlement in June 1829. Using the Swan River for transport, three towns were formed, Perth, Fremantle and Guildford. Fremantle, 20 kilometres downstream on the coast served as the colony’s functional port and Guildford, 20 kilometres to the east was chosen to supply produce to the surrounding region because of the rich, fertile soil found in the Swan Valley. Experiencing severe labour shortages, the British sent convicts to Western Australia between 1850 and 1868 to help establish settlements. 9721 convicts were transported to WA on 43 convict voyages. Between 1850 and 1868 Western Australia was a Penal Colony. The convicts were involved in a significant amount of infrastructure such as the Fremantle Prison, Government House, The Cloisters, the Swan River Mechanics’ Institute and the Perth Town Hall.

WA Museum

Explore the stories and culture of the local Aboriginal people, the State’s unique flora and fauna and the fascinating minerals, meteorites and dinosaurs that once inhabited WA and prehistoric Earth at the WA Museum. Open daily from 9.30am-5pm. Perth Cultural Centre www.museum.wa.gov.au See the City Fold Out Map

The Noongar people have a rich cultural heritage that offer visitors an experience found no where else in the world, and have forged a strong identity that resonates throughout the state. View the Indigenous art at the Art Gallery of WA, the WA Museum and the Aboriginal Art Gallery in Kings Park. Visit the Charnock Woman, a 25 metre pavement mosiac in Victoria Gardens, East Perth, or the Yagan statue on Heirisson Island. It took until the turn of the century to explore most of the state. In 1890, gold was discovered in the Kimberley and Kalgoorlie. This led to a population explosion and established Perth as the colony’s trade capital, with Fremantle having to upgrade the harbour to cope with increased demand. Most of Fremantle’s original architecture can still be seen today lovingly restored.

With the advent of the Second World War, the 1940s initiated a huge demand for minerals and WA had plenty. Lead, iron ore, diamonds, nickel, mineral sands, oil and gas, with some of the biggest mining and exploration companies in the world having offices in Perth. WA’s economy still relies heavily upon the natural resources sector.

The Indigenous Cultures of Australia are the oldest living culture in the world. Indigenous communities kept their cultural heritage alive by passing their knowledge, arts, rituals and performances from one generation to another, through storytelling, painting and dance. Since white settlement and the subsequent loss of their land and disconnection from their traditional way of life, Indigenous Australians are one of the most disadvantaged groups in society today. Indigenous Australian’s vision is for Australia to respect the rights, culture and contribution of the Aboriginal people, and many areas of society are working towards improving relations and solving the problems they face. Reconciliation involves all sectors of the community working together to achieve positive outcomes for all Australians.

Fremantle

SEE & DO FREMANTLE Fremant le is WA’s chief port and is situated at the mouth of the Swan River, just 25 minutes west of Perth. Cosmopolitan, friendly Fremantle was founded in 1829 by Captain Charles Howe Fremantle, in a ceremony which claimed the entire west coast “New Holland” in the name of King George IV. Convict labour was used to build many of the original buildings such as the Fremantle Prison and Fremantle Arts Centre, and with the arrival of the gold rush, Fremantle soon developed into a thriving port. Fremantle is much more than an architectural time capsule. Full of colour and a relaxed and casual atmosphere with busy restaurants and bars trading all hours of the day and night, one of the most intriguing aspects is that it is still possible to walk down streets that have remained virtually unchanged since the mid-19th century.

Browse through historic markets, bookstores and local designer boutiques. Enjoy fresh fish and chips and succulent seafood at the Fishing Boat Harbour, pizza and pasta along the Cappuccino Strip, world famous coffee at one of the many cafes, or visit one of the sylish microbreweries such as Little Creatures, who offer an incredible range of amber ales. Learn Fremantle’s history and visit a selection of museums such as the Maritime, Shipwreck or the Army Museum. Enjoy a free exhibition at the Fremantle Arts Centre, a swim in the ocean at Bathers Beach, or simply enjoy the lovely winter sun in one of Fremantle’s shady parks. Fremantle Prison and The Roundhouse offer historic tours or take a guided Tram ride to experience more of the city and its’ history. See the following pages for a selection of attractions and activities or drop into the Fremantle Visitor Centre in Kings Square and ask the helpful staff.

THE ROUNDHOUSE The Roundhouse is the oldest public building in Western Australia. Opened in 1831, it was built to hold any person convicted of a crime in the settlement until 1886. It had eight cells and a jailer’s residence, all of which opened onto a central courtyard. After it ceased being used as a gaol it became a Police Lock-up until the late 1890s and then was used as accommodation for the Water Police, and afterwards as a storage facility for Fremantle Ports. Today it’s a popular historical tourist attraction with sweeping views over Fremantle, the Fishing Boat Harbour and Indian Ocean. Open 7 days, 10.30am to 3.30pm. See above and the Fremantle Map.

FREMANTLE FISHING BOAT HARBOUR FISHING BOAT HARBOUR The Fishing Boat Harbour is Australia’s largest small boat harbour and is home to a wide range of commercial fishing vessels. The Harbour was built in 1919 and many of the fishing enterprises are descended from the Italian towns of Molfetta on the Adriatic Sea, and Capo d’Orlando in Sicily. Many families of the original fisherman still fish out of Fremantle today. The Fishing Boat Harbour was actually a small fishing industry until it was subject to worldwide focus following Australia II winning the America’s Cup, which resulted in major development over a very short period of time.

The Harbour today is still a very busy working port, and is home to over a dozen restaurants, the Shipwreck Museum, a fresh fish market, accommodation and a brewery. Shop for freshly caught seafood, soak up the ambiance and watch the fishing boats come and go while enjoying the world’s finest fresh fish. See the following pages for a selection of dining choices.

Rottnest Island

ROTTNEST ISLAND Rottnest Island is Western Australia’s very own Island getaway, featuring a casual atmosphere, picturesque scenery and some of the world’s finest beaches and bays. Located just 19 kilometres off the coast of Fremantle it’s a special place for locals and a popular destination for interstate and international visitors. Rottnest Island was inhabited by Aboriginal people until rising sea levels separated the island from the mainland about 7,000 years ago; the first records of human occupation of Rottnest Island are from more than 6,500 years ago. The first Europeans took up residence on the Island shortly after the first settlement of the Swan River Colony in 1829. Today Rottnest Island is a relaxed, car free island offering world class beaches and stunning bays, walk trails, swimming, snorkeling and bike riding.

ROTTNEST ISLAND IN SPRING Spring is a beautiful time to visit Rottnest Island, when nature re-awakens with the bloom of wildflowers, the birth of baby quokkas and perhaps even the migrating whales froliking offshore. Spring supplies plenty of warm sunny days, perfect for bike riding, long leisurely walks, swimming, sunbaking, alfresco dining and enjoying the relaxed, carefree atmosphere of the island. There is a great selection of fun, family events in spring such as the annual comedy, film and music festival Rottofest, the Beneteau Cup, the Rottnest Island Multisport Festival and the Rottnest Island Carnivale, providing free entertainment, live music, roving performances and plenty of activities for visitors of all ages. It gets even better! There are some fabulous accommodation and ferry packages on offer during spring to help your holiday dollar go further; visit www.rottnestisland.com for more information.

ROTTNEST ISLAND QUOKKA The quokka is native to Rottnest Island and looks like a pint sized kangaroo. William de Vlamingh, who in 1696 was the next recorded European visitor to Rottnest, gave the Island its name Rotte nestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (meaning ratâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nest) after the abundance of quokkas he saw, mistaking them for rats. Quokkas roam freely around the island in their natural habitat and during spring there are many more baby quokkas that can be seen. They are very friendly little creatures and you may even like to join the latest craze and attempt a Quokka selfie! Rottnest Island Quokka

MANDURAH Less than an hour from Perth, Mandurah is a vibrant tourist destination and also a popular weekend getaway for locals. With plenty of quality waterside restaurants, clear blue water, spectacular beach sunsets, wildlife, numerous activities for the family, plenty of accommodation choices and a relaxed, holiday atmosphere, Mandurah offers something for everyone. The Mandurah area was originally home to the Binjareb people, of the Bibbulmun nation. It was then known as Mandjoogoordap, which translates to 'meeting place of the heart'. In 1828, Englishman Thomas Peel established a small settlement at the mouth of the Peel-Harvey Estuary. In the late 1800's, the quiet fishing village carved an existence from fishing, farming and canneries. Holiday makers increasingly traveled from Perth and beach houses sprouted along the coast. The pastoral land has since been transformed into canals lined with multi million dollar homes.

SOUTH OF PERTH CICERELLO’S MANDURAH Established in 1903, the iconic Cicerello’s is known as Western Australia’s best seafood eatery offering a range of family friendly dining options on the water’s edge. With alfresco seating overlooking Mandurah’s Peel Inlet, Cicerello’s succulent fish and chips are world renowned and not to be missed. Enjoy freshly caught seafood such as oysters, mussels and crabs with a beer, wine or champagne at the waters edge, in the Mandurah Boardwalk. Open 9.30am til late Monday to Friday, 8.30am til late on weekends. See below and the Discount Voucher on page 50.

Sandalford Estate

EAST OF PERTH Although Perth is well known for having stunning beaches, it also offers a charming country experience within an hour of the CBD. Rolling hills and valleys, picturesque scenery, wildflowers, walk trails, fresh produce, award winning restaurants and wineries, quality accommodation and the Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest pubs, make a visit east a must do while here in Western Australia.

SWAN VALLEY Within an easy 30 minute drive east from Perth lies the historic wine region of the Swan Valley, well known world wide for its award winning wines. The region is built on a unique history and heritage blending Indigenous, pioneering colonial and southern European roots. Nyoongar Aboriginal people have inhabited the region for at

least 40,000 years, and are the traditional owners of the Swan Valley. Captain James Stirling first sighted the Valley in 1827, and quickly realised the Valley's rich and fertile soils would sustain settlement and the first agricultural ventures by colonial settlers began in 1829. Southern European migrants arrived in the Swan Valley after World War I and then again after World War II, drawing upon their wine making skills from home to help make the Swan Valley what it is today. It's proudly the oldest wine region in Western Australia and you can follow a 32 kilometres loop to enjoy wineries, breweries, restaurants, cafes, arts, crafts, museums and shop for fresh produce. See the Swan Valley Map opposite for a huge choice of wineries and restaurants. Sample free tastings of wines and local produce such as olives, cheese, coffee and chocolate. Visit swanvalley.com.au or drop into the Swan Valley Visitor Centre, corner of Meadow and Swan Streets Guildford. Open seven days.
