Highlights
A magical way to see the historical Port City, Fremantle. Prior to British settlement, the indigenous Noongar people inhabited the area, knew it by the name of Walyalup. Visited by Dutch explorers in the 1600s, Fremantle was named after Captain Charles Fremantle. The convict-built Fremantle Prison and is now a World Heritage Site. Fremantle was deepened for commercial shipping, into a bustling trade centre. Declared a city in 1929, Fremantle played a key role in World War II as the largest submarine base. Post-war immigration from Europe, particularly Italy, shaped Fremantle's character, after hosting the 1987 America's Cup. Today, Fremantle is recognised for Victorian and Edwardian streetscapes, convict-era heritage with a thriving arts and culinary scene. The Fremantle War Memorial is located on Monument Hill, an 11-acre public reserve, the Fallen Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial, established by the Fremantle Town Council in 1928 to commemorate the losses of the First World War.

About Perth
Perth is the capital of Western Australia, a sunny Indian Ocean city on the Swan River with a large hilltop park, white beaches and the port of Fremantle.
Perth sits where the Swan River widens into a broad estuary on the Indian Ocean coast, and it is often described as one of the most remote large cities in the world, with Adelaide more than two thousand kilometres to the east. Kings Park, a large reserve of bushland and botanic garden on a hill, looks over the skyline and the water, and the Elizabeth Quay waterfront anchors the centre.
Top-ranked sights in Perth: Margaret River, Swan River, Rottnest Island.
