Fremantle
Travel 20 kilometres downstream from Perth, to the southern cusp of the Swan River, and you will find the port city of Fremantle.
This vibrant coastal city was established in 1829 as a port for the Swan River Colony and was the major city in Western Australia for much of its early history.
Fremantle's unique character is captured by its landscape, its heritage architecture, music, arts and culture, festivals, retail stores and markets, cafés and restaurants, which all contribute to its village style atmosphere - making it a popular destination for local and international visitors.
The City of Fremantle sits within the Aboriginal cultural region of Beelair. To the local Nyoongar people, Fremantle is a place of ceremonies, significant cultural practices and trading.
Fremantle houses several culturally significant sites. The mouth of the Swan River is the place where the Wagyl fought the Crocodile spirit and used the crocodile’s tail to separate the fresh water from salt water. There is also a strong connection to Rottnest Island (Wadjemup or place across the sea).
