Heritage sites
"Snap the giant lobsters in the 40-metre aquarium, capture the sun setting from the jetty or just sit back and relax in one of the beachside restaurants with your phone at the ready. Make sure you checkout the J Shed, just next to the Harbour, with its attention-grabbing rainbow coloured doors."
"IT has a variety of things to do like high speed jet rides, charter sailing rides, the maritime museum and many options of restaurants. Located in the heart of Fremantle, the harbor is home to more than 400 boats and is the fun centre of Fremantle, surrounded by many bars and eateries."
"Finish at the large and bustling Little Creatures Brewery on Fishing Boat Harbour. Dine on fish and chips at Kailis' Fish Market Café or watch the sunset over dinner at the Bathers Beach House. Catch a train and you will return to Perth in 25 minutes."
"A serene and sprawling public space close to the waterfront, Esplanade Park is great for picnics, sunbathing, or a spin on the giant Skyview (Ferris) wheel. There are playgrounds for the kids, majestic Norfolk pines, and it’s close enough to the city that it makes a nice respite from the workday, with local workers and tourists alike enjoying a quiet moment in the park before returning to the real world."
"Would you believe this small planting trees initiative taken by Fremantle government in 1908 turned out to be a scenic park?. Yes, Esplanade Park’s first plant was planted in 1908. Right now the park has more the 100 mature Norfolk Island Pines."
"A staple in the playground arena is Heathcote Reserve in Applecross. This large pirate ship playground was restored in 2017 and given a fresh coat of paint, new wooden decking, new handrails and sand."
"The most popular of Fremantle's public sculptures is Greg James's statue of Bon Scott (1946–80), strutting on a Marshall amplifier in Fishing Boat Harbour. The AC/DC singer moved to Fremantle with his family in..."
"Who would have thought 9 shipping containers could become a hit on Instagram?. Well, they can and they have, thanks to local Fremantle artist Marcus Canning. In his artwork (which was commissioned by the City of Fremantle) these nine containers are custom-designed in eye-catching colours and formed into a striking rainbow structure."
"Serpentine Falls makes for a beautiful swimming spot just under an hours’ drive south of Perth. The falls are only a short walk from the car park in Serpentine National Park. You can often see Western Grey Kangaroos in the picnic area and stunning wildflowers during spring."
"When the husband and wife team behind super popular food truck Comida do Sul opened Madalena’s back in the tail end of 2018 , it was no surprise that it became one of the most talked about restaurants in Perth, and Australia at large. This relaxed boteco has a menu that celebrates local seafood, as well as a wine list curated in conjunction with the guys at Wise Child. You’d think you were on the beach in Barcelona if it wasn’t so classically Perth."
"This laid-back wine bar and restaurant burst on the South Fremantle scene in 2019 and hasn't looked back. Featuring natural, low-intervention wines, craft beers, vermouths, and Western Australian sustainable seafood, Madalena's is the kind of place you can spend hours immersed in conversation over an unpretentious, delicious meal. The fish of the day is almost always a winner, making use of whatever chef Adam Rees can get his hands on."
"Having just opened in September 2019, Cocco Bianco is the newest place to go in Freo for your ice cream fix. With some staple favourites among some unique creations, these guys will have a flavour for everyone in the family. If you’re in the Fremantle area, this cosy little shop beckons."
"First cab off the rank is an obvious one, but we’ll throw a little twist on it to make it interesting. Late last year we went on a little hunt to find the best kids playgrounds around Perth, and managed to dig up 20 that are not only great (one even has a volcano), but will keep the tiny ones occupied for hours (check ‘emHERE). We’ve also located a heap of great nature playgrounds to explore, which you can check outHERE."
