Known to the locals as Freo, the historic port city of Freemantle is the place to soak up some laid-back ambience. Just a 20 minute drive from Perth’s city centre, at the mouth of the Swan River, multi-cultural Freemantle is a city with a charm all of its own – not to mention world-famous heritage buildings and a fascinating maritime and convict history. Essential stops for history lovers include Western Australia’s earliest convict jail, the Round House, Fremantle Prison and the WA Maritime Museum.
Shoppers will find themselves in heaven at the bustling Fremantle Markets, or head down High Street to browse the local fashion stores, art galleries and Aboriginal crafts. At night, the town’s atmosphere cranks up a notch as vibrant street cafés, bars and nightclubs open their doors. There is plenty of choice of accommodation, with backpacker hostels, B&Bs, self-catering cottages and hotels on offer.
