"Walking for ten minutes as the Freo Doctor’s salty mistral mingles past the century old terraced homes, restored warehouses and urban apartments of Fremantle’s West End, you will arrive in a otherwise unassuming street a block back from the Cappuccino Strip. It’s here that Strange Company effortlessly weaves good design, great service and, of course, glorious beer into a modern yet mid-century influenced space that was once a wetsuit factory. The local focus on the eight venue owned taps may not stray into the esoteric ends of craft beer, however there is enough on offer to keep the crawler happy."

"Open for just over a year, Strange Company has already made its mark on historic Fremantle as a uniquely modern venue with a refined and open aesthetic. Their Spanish-inspired tapas menu, featuring Jerusalem artichokes, duck and pork rillettes and mushroom croquettes, are perfect for a table for two. With their wide variety of local beers and wine, you won’t be strangers for long!"

"Visit Rorystone’s Honeys Bakehouse for the right bakery-style vegan jam and custard donuts.

"This small but pretty beach is situated in one of the most historical areas of Western Australia, and is close to heritage landmarks and local attractions, such as the famous Round House and the Maritime Museum. Although it's surrounded by suburban Fremantle, it's a nice little spot to come to for a picnic and/or swim. Access to the beach is via an old whalers' tunnel, a feature that children will absolutely love."

"The beaches of the region are gorgeous- although it’s not really thought of as a beach destination, Bathers Beach, South Beach, and Port Beach are some of the best for a swim. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Rottnest Island."

"Your next stop is the Roundhouse, which is right by Bather’s Beach. The Roundhouse was also a crucial building on the Australian convict scene; you can learn more about convicts in Western Australia and even be put in the stocks!"
