Peron Homestead was a working pastoral station in the early 1900s. This historical attraction provides an insight into life on a sheep farm during the earlier part of the last century. Allow 45 minutes to walk the self guided trail around the precinct visiting the shearing shed and stock yards where you can read about the station’s interesting past. Enjoy a picnic on the grassed lawns or cook up a feast on the barbeques before taking a relaxing soak in the artesian hot tub. Due to the shortage of fresh water from the peninsula, the artesian bore was sunk to provide water for the sheep. It has now been developed into a large hot tub which is a highlight of the experience for most visitors. Take a walk through the interpretive centre to discover more about the settlers that ran the sheep station and the Aboriginal people who lived on the land. Learn about the Department of Environment and Conservation’s exceptional plan to bring back endangered species to the area through Project Eden. Peron Homestead is located within Francois Peron National Park just 15 minutes from the town of Denham and eight hours drive north of Perth.

Step inside and do time at Fremantle Prison, a fascinating Western Australian attraction. Originally known as The Convict Establishment, Fremantle Prison was built by convicts in the 1850s from limestone quarried on the site. It is the largest convict built structure in Western Australia and the most intact convict establishment in Australia. Decommissioned as a maximum security prison in 1991, Fremantle Prison was used continuously as a place of incarceration and punishment for almost 140 years. The Prison's day tours, ‘Doing Time' and 'Great Escapes', bring to life the rich folklore and stories of prison life. If you are feeling brave, explore the darker side of the Fremantle Prison story at night on a spooky 'Torchlight Tour'. In 1894 prisoners completed construction of the one kilometre labyrinth of tunnels located 20 metres beneath Fremantle Prison. Now you can experience an extreme heritage adventure as you descend down the ladder to explore the maze of tunnels by foot and by boat on the new 'Tunnels Tour’. The Fremantle Prison is a two minute walk from the famous Fremantle Markets and cappuccino strip with its shopping and cafes. Fremantle is a half hour drive south of Perth.
