Perth Part 5: Fremantle
Monday, December 24, 2012Fremantle or known by locals as Freo is a city located near Swan River, Perth. According to a source from the internet says that Fremantle is named after Captain Fremantle, the captain of the HMS Challenger who first took possession of the land when he arrived in the waters off the Western Australian coast. Fremantle is a port city located about 30 minutes south of Perth and is a very multicultural city. There are loads of choices for alfresco dining, pub dining or simply coffee and cake at one the cafes.
Fremantle is full of history and is surrounded by many heritage buildings and to its credit has handled the modern changes over the years with ease. There is a beautiful mixture of the old with the new and the people of Fremantle love it I somehow thinks that there is some Spanish influence in Fremantle's building architecture which makes the town is one of the most beautiful town that I've ever visited.
After our whale watching trip, the boat dropped us at Fremantle harbour (the opposite of E-Shed Market, Fremantle). So we ventured Fremantle city all by ourselves by foot.
