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.

The multi award-winning tourist attraction – The Perth Mint, is one of the world’s oldest mints still operating from its original premises and one of Western Australia’s most historic buildings. The Mint was established in 1899 as a branch of the British Royal Mint to refine gold from Western Australia’s newly discovered goldfields and to strike gold sovereigns for the Empire. Behind the majestic wrought iron gates that were locked to the general public for more than 90 years, it now unveils a wealth of treasures, welcoming visitors to experience one of Western Australia’s premier tourist destinations. A pure gold rush awaits as the Mint gives you the opportunity to experience the excitement of the early gold rushes, see the harsh conditions endured by prospectors seeking their fortunes, and be captivated by a traditional gold pouring performance in the original Melting House. You can handle more than AUD400,000 worth of gold bullion, discover the value of your weight in gold, strike and engrave your own personalised medallions, and admire Australia’s largest collection of natural gold nuggets and hundreds of gold bars, from around the world, gleam from the darkness of the original 1899 vault.

Walk through the cemetery and read the inscriptions on the gravestones of significant pioneers who developed the colony, including William Mackie, Frederick Irwin and John Connolly.
