Fremantle Prison
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
6
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.
Shipwreck Galleries
The Shipwreck Galleries are recognised as the most foremost maritime archaeology museum in the southern hemisphere. The displays in the convict built Commissariat building feature early exploration and houses hundreds of relics from shipwrecks along the coastline as early as the 17th century. Cliff Street, Fremantle www.museum.wa.gov.au
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.
www.helloperth.com.au
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. 7

Fremantle
SEE & DO FREMANTLE Fremantle 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. 34
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 spring 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.
FREMANTLE DID YOU KNOW... Fremantle Markets
FREMANTLE PRISON Fremantle Prison is Western Australia’s only World Heritage listed building. Built by convicts in the 1850s, Fremantle Prison was used as a place of incarceration for 136 years. Decommissioned as a maximum security gaol in 1991, the prison is a monument to a system of punishment that is uncomfortably recent. Step inside and do time with Fremantle Prison’s experienced guides on a Prison Day Tour, Tunnels Tour adventure or spooky Torchlight Tour. Fremantle Prison is open 7 days a week and the Prison Gatehouse is open from 9.00am to 5.00pm daily, and later on Wednesday and Friday evenings. See page 35 or the Fremantle Map.
That the Fremantle Arts Centre first opened its doors as the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum? See page 47.
THE ROUNDHOUSE The Roundhouse is the oldest public building in WA. 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. 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 the Fremantle Map or visit fremantleroundhouse.com.au.
FREMANTLE MARKETS Established in 1897, Fremantle Markets is the Grand Dame of heritage buildings and offers over 150 stalls of jewellery, fashion, locally made gifts, fresh produce such as cheeses, honey, coffee, bread, chocolate and much more. Open Friday to Sunday and Monday public holidays. Visit fremantlemarkets.com.au or see the Fremantle Map. 36

Enjoy freshly caught seafood by the water’s edge
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.
Sweetlips Fish & Chips
Sourced straight from the ocean and not the freezer, enjoy fresh fish and chips, squid, prawns, seafood burgers and salad cooked and prepared just the way you like it. Present this voucher to receive a free snack squid, valued at $4.95. 47 Mews Road, Fishing Boat Harbour, Fremantle www.sweetlips.com.au 9430 6902
38
Within the Fishing Boat Harbour you’ll find numerous sculptures along the water’s edge, which celebrate and represent Fremantle’s fishing heritage, and it’s also home to the tribute statue of Fremantle boy Bon Scott, ACDC’s lead singer. The Harbour boasts a wide variety of annual events and festivals such as the Blessing of the Fleet, the Fremantle Street Arts Festival and the Fremantle Seafood Festival. Visit fremantlestory.com.au for the schedule of events. Fishing Boat Harbour

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 settlement of the Swan River Colony in 1829.

Rottnest Island Quokka
ROTTNEST ISLAND ROTTNEST FAST FERRIES
ROTTNEST ISLAND QUOKKA Perhaps the most photographed animal in the world and dubbed the happiest animal on earth (due to the Quokka selfie craze), 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 nest’ (meaning rat’s nest) after the abundance of quokkas he saw, mistaking them for rats. Quokkas roam freely around the island in their natural habitat and are very friendly little creatures; but remember that Quokkas are wild animals and endangered species, so make sure you follow these simple rules to help protect them - don’t feed, don’t touch, don’t harm.
From all-inclusive packages to exploring Rottnest by yourself, Rottnest Fast Ferries has your island experience covered. Departing Hillarys Boat Harbour daily, they offer a variety of travel times and tour options to accommodate your perfect day out. Coastal, Whale Watching and Twilight cruises operate seasonally, as well as Full Day and Overnight Accommodation Packages at Rottnest Island. Bike and snorkel equipment is available to hire before you depart the harbour – saving valuable time once on the island. Free parking is available at the harbour, or courtesy coach transfers are available from major hotels in Perth city, Northbridge or along the Sunset Coast. Bookings are essential.

DID YOU KNOW? The small crayfishing town of Cervantes is named after an American whaling ship which was wrecked off the coast in 1844?
THE PINNACLES DESERT The Pinnacles Desert is located 200km north of Perth (two hours by car) and can be enjoyed as a day trip or stay the night at nearby Cervantes. These amazing natural limestone structures in the Nambung National Park were formed over 25,000 years ago, after the sea receded and left deposits of sea shells. Over time, coastal winds removed the surrounding sand, leaving the pillars exposed to the elements. The variation in colours against a backdrop of constantly shifting sand dunes creates an eerie landscape often best viewed at dawn or sunset when the shadows create stunning patterns that ripple over the sands, and provide the perfect photo opportunity. Drop into the Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre for displays, videos and objects that explain the geology of the pinnacles formations and the cultural heritage of the area. Phone 9652 7700 or visitpinnaclescountry.com.au.

Sheltered by a string of islands and limestone reefs, the snorkelling and diving here is world class, with underwater caves and coral gardens covered in colourful sponges. These habitats are also a haven for the rare Australian sea lion and you can join a fishing charter for close encounters with visiting sea lions, dolphins and during the migration season from June to November, the majestic humpback whales.

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.

In 1828, Englishman Thomas Peel established a small settlement at the mouth of the Peel-Harvey Estuary, that was to become Mandurah. In the late 1800's, the quiet fishing village carved an existence from fishing, 88
farming and canneries. The pastoral land has since been transformed into canals lined with multi million dollar homes. The city centre foreshore is home to a variety of wildlife including dolphins, pelicans, shags, and an abundance of marine life including the blue manna crab which has become synonymous with the area.

Swan Valley Winery
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 State’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 94
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.

From the Perth Winter Arts Festival to Sculpture by the Sea in summer, iconic art exhibitions and regular famous artists, Perth is well and truly on the cultural world stage. There are simply too many events to list effectively in the printed publication, so only a small selection are featured. However please visit the Events section at www.helloperth.com.au for a comprehensive list of events in Perth throughout the whole year, or follow us on social media.
