Today we visited the city of Fremantle in WA, located at the mouth of the river Swan. Fremantle harbour serves as the port of Perth. Fremantle was the first area settled by the Swan River colonists in 1829. It was declared a city in 1929, and has a population of approximately 25,000.
The city is named after Captain Charles Fremantle, the English naval officer who pronounced possession of WA and established a camp at the site. The town has beautiful and unique shops and lots of coffee shops and restaurants.It has a famous indoor market which is open friday-sundays but, have to say it was a bit disappointment, we were expecting a bit more from it! Harbour front was nice though and we did have some lovely fish & chips at Kailis fish market cafe!
Saw this old fire station that is now a backpackers hostel!
Steve was happy to find a skate/ bmx park and could watch them for hours... the girls preferred to be next door... in a play park again!!! I am actually taking a photo of every playpark we stop at (there are lots)! so lets see how many we end up with after 5months of travelling!!!
