Fremantle was primarily a port where convicts were landed and detained but thrived into an independent city. Taking a walk through the streets, you realise its full of history, everywhere you look there are beautiful Victorian buildings reminding you of Australia past. Convict labour built the foundations of this characteristic city, and evidence of this is scattered all around from the Roundhouse to the magnificent Prison itself. Fremantle was founded on the 2nd of May, 1829 when Captain Charles H Fremantle claimed the West Coast of New Holland (Australia) as British territory. The first British settlers arrived in early June 1829 under Governor James Stirling. The Roundhouse, the oldest building in Fremantle, the building was designed by the colony’s first civil engineer, Henry Reverley. In its infancy it was used as a gaol for minor crimes, however the first execution took place on the gallows just a few yards north of the entrance. 1885 saw the opening of the Town Hall, a splendid architectural masterpiece which overlooks St John’s Church, Kings Square and watches over it’s city. A large number of ‘migrants’ came to these shores from all over the world in search of a new life, arriving in Fremantle after many weeks at sea. The Welcome Walls (situated at the Maritime Museum) mark the arrival of many families. The Western Australian Maritime Museum is the jewel in the crown of one of Australia's most significant historic maritime precincts. This precinct in the west end of Fremantle stretches from the Maritime Museum’s convictbuilt Shipwreck Galleries beside Fishing Boat Harbour to the Maritime Museum on the edge of Fremantle Harbour, and links to the exciting development on the Fremantle Waterfront. Today Fremantle is a warm and inviting city offering every thing anyone could want. Combining the past with the present, Fremantle is a unique city with a unique story to tell.

The Rottnest Island Marine Reserve is a haven for the enthused snorkeller and daring divers with limestone coral reef and caves dating back approximately 100,000 years when Courtesy of The Rottnest Island Authority. the sea level was thought to be at least three metres higher than the present day. The Island’s coastline is also dotted with scattered shipwrecks and holds a far greater range of habitats, marine plants and animals than that of the adjacent mainland coastline. Extensive seagrass meadows occur around Rottnest Island, and with nine species, it is second only to Shark Bay in species diversity. Fed by the Lewin Current, the Island’s reef system provides a home to an range of marine wildlife including migrating humpback whales, bottle-nose dolphins, New Zealand Fur Seals and Australian sea lions. Rottnest Island is also rich with significant cultural heritage. First records of human occupation of the Island are from more than 6,500 years ago when it was still attached to the mainland, and Aboriginal people inhabited the area. Once split from the mainland, Local Aboriginal people came to know the Island as “Wadjemup” meaning ‘place across the water’. The first Europeans to discover the Island were the Dutch in 1658. Since its initial European exploration from the 17th Century and its settlement in 1829, Rottnest Island has been through a number of stages of development and has been used for a variety of purposes including the site of an Aboriginal prison, an internment camp in World War 1 for some 1300 Germans and Dalmations and a strategically important military installation in World War 2. Visitors can experience and learn about the Island’s intriguing Aboriginal, European, colonial, maritime, military, recreational and social heritage on Rottnest Island through free history and wildlife tours run by the Island’s friendly Rottnest Volunteer Guides. Although not new to the island, Rottnest Island’s historic sites definitely fly under the radar.

Fremantle is the State’s principal general cargo port, handling 73 per cent by value of WA’s sea-borne imports and 11 per cent by value of its sea-borne exports. Total trade through Fremantle Ports in 2014-15 was 35.7 million mass tonnes, worth more than $28.4 billion.

The Port of Fremantle operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week and provides navigation, berthing and general shipping services to all visiting vessels. High standards of economic and environmental performance and working closely with the local community are the foundations on which Fremantle Ports conducts its business. Maintaining these standards is seen as critical to the working port’s sustainability over the long term. Most of Western Australia’s exports of manufactured goods and value-added food products pass through Fremantle, as do most of the consumer goods and motor vehicles that are imported by sea. Trade with East, South East and Southern Asia amounted to 64 per cent of total port trade in 2013/14, compared with 43 per cent in 2000/2001. Residents and visitors to Fremantle have access to the Inner Harbour at the western end of Victoria Quay, which includes the world-class Maritime Museum and berths for the ferries that run regularly to Rottnest Island and Perth.
