It's worth exploring this little piece of history at the end of the old High Street right by the beach. You'll also find an artists' colony here. Finish up at Bathers Beach for coffee or a sunset meal.

The first permanent building built in the swan river colony, the oldest building in Western Australia. A popular visitor destination which is located at Arthur head in Fremantle about 3km away, or a short 5 minute drive or free CAT bus ride.

The first gaol. Good views over the town, beach and harbor and an interesting part of Fremantle History

Can't miss this one. If you time it right, you can set off the 1pm gun to calibrate the ships' instruments. Was the first prison in Freo and now mostly serves as a small museum.

The Roundhouse is the oldest public building in the State of Western Australia. Opened in January 1831, just 18 months after settlement, it was built to hold any person convicted of a crime in the settlement and was used until 1886. After it ceased being used as a gaol it became a Police Lock-up until the late 1890s and then was used as accommodation for the Water Police, and afterwards as a storage facility for Fremantle Ports. When threatened with demolition in the 1920s it was saved and later control went to the State Government before it was deeded to the City of Fremantle.
