Fremantle- Western Australia
Fremantle (colloquially known as 'Freo') is a port city in Western Australia, located 19 kilometres (12 mi) southwest of Perth, the state capital, at the mouth of the Swan River on Australia's western coast. It was the first settlement of the Swan River Colonists in 1829. It was declared a city in 1929, and has a population of approximately 26,000.
The point of no return for the prisoners
The small sport court, the only entertainment.
Rows of tiny cells
The Entrance
The tiny tiny single cell due to space confinement.
It was designed by HW Reveley, the colony's first civil engineer, and built in 1830 - 1831. The Round House had eight cells and a gaolers residence which all opened up into a central courtyard.
Bay whaling was carried out from Bathers beach below the Round House. As part of the whaling operations a tunnel was constructed under the Round House to provide whalers with access to the town from the jetty and bathers beach.
When the first convicts arrived in 1850 the Round House was inadequate to house them so the convicts built a new goal which was completed in the 1850's and continued to be used as Fremantle prison through until 1991.
The Fremantle City Council took over responsibility for the Round House from 1982 when the headland was vested in the city. The building was opened to the public soon afterwards and can now be viewed seven days a week.
Looking out from the top of Round House.
The only 19th Century Town Hall in the metropolitan region. Largely unaltered since construction. Built 1885 - 1887 by E. Keane. Clock supplied by local watchmaker W. Hooper who imported it from London in 1888. Modern civic building added 1964 and extended 1973.
Walk west through Pedestrian Mall, High Street. The building still largely maintains the character and style of the Victorian and Edwardian era. Glance above the awning level for the original character of these buildings. Cross Market Street, Pakenham Street and Henry Street and turn right up Mouat Street.
Fremantle Markets
If you're interested in unique Western Australian Gifts then the Markets are the place to go. Sheepskin and leather goods, jarrah and cane products, dried wildflowers, opals, local shells and pottery are all available.
The building which houses the markets was originally built as a market hall in 1897 and the current building has been restored to its original Victorian grandeur.
You will also be entertained by buskers both inside and outside of the markets as you stroll from stall to stall, or rest your weary legs and quench your thirst at the market bar.
The city is named after Charles Fremantle, the English naval officer who had pronounced possession of Western Australia and who established the camp at the site. The city contains well preserved buildings and other heritage sites. The Western Australian vernacular diminutive for Fremantle is "Freo".

A tour of the Fremantle Prison is a fantastic and fascinating day out whether you are a local, interstate or international visitor.

The Round House is the oldest remaining building in Western Australia. It was built as a gaol and was the first permanent building in the colony.
It was designed by HW Reveley, the colony's first civil engineer, and built in 1830 - 1831. The Round House had eight cells and a gaolers residence which all opened up into a central courtyard.
Bay whaling was carried out from Bathers beach below the Round House. As part of the whaling operations a tunnel was constructed under the Round House to provide whalers with access to the town from the jetty and bathers beach.
When the first convicts arrived in 1850 the Round House was inadequate to house them so the convicts built a new goal which was completed in the 1850's and continued to be used as Fremantle prison through until 1991.
The Round House was not used as a prison when, in 1886, convict establishment became the responsibility of the colonial government. Instead, the Round House was used as a police lock-up through until 1900. It then became the living quarters for the chief constable, his wife, and their ten children.
The Fremantle City Council took over responsibility for the Round House from 1982 when the headland was vested in the city. The building was opened to the public soon afterwards and can now be viewed seven days a week.
