What To Expect
A magical way to see the historical Port City, Fremantle.
Prior to British settlement, the indigenous Noongar people inhabited the area, knew it by the name of Walyalup. Visited by Dutch explorers in the 1600s, Fremantle was named after Captain Charles Fremantle. The convict-built Fremantle Prison and is now a World Heritage Site.
Fremantle was deepened for commercial shipping, into a bustling trade centre. Declared a city in 1929, Fremantle played a key role in World War II as the largest submarine base. Post-war immigration from Europe, particularly Italy, shaped Fremantle's character, after hosting the 1987 America's Cup. Today, Fremantle is recognised for Victorian and Edwardian streetscapes, convict-era heritage with a thriving arts and culinary scene.
The Fremantle War Memorial is located on Monument Hill, an 11-acre public reserve, the Fallen Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial, established by the Fremantle Town Council in 1928 to commemorate the losses of the First World War.
