Itinerary:

We head out from the city of Perth, which is the capital city of Western Australia, an enormous state that takes up a third of Australia and is 3.5 times bigger than Texas. Originally not of any interest to the British, it was only when French and Dutch explorers started sniffing around that the English decided there should be a colony in the West of Australia.

 

Fremantle developed into the major port for Western Australia in the late 1890’s to service Perth and its surroundings and opened up a gateway to the world. Millions of migrants have come through the ports of Western Australia, and none more than through Fremantle itself. Major prisons were built and criminal undertones swept Freo in its early days, later a submarine base in WWII and now a major tourist attraction with a funky vibe

 

Join your local guide at the “Roundhouse” at 10.00am to depart on a walking tour that will take approx 2hr and cover 3km over flat land. Your guide will take you on an exploration of the port city, pointing out landmarks and sharing intriguing stories from Fremantle’s settlement, the sad past of early Aboriginal treatment through to jail breaks and outlaws.

 

Fremantle is a scenic and beautiful town, but with these stories, the place really comes to life! Its a great Fremantle travel experience and a unique thing to do in Fremantle during your stay.

Tipping:

If you are happy with the services provided by your local guides and drivers a tip - though not compulsory - is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many Intrepid Urban Adventures destinations. Please consider this when budgeting for your extra expenses on this tour
