Guide to Fremantle
Aboriginal name: Walyalup (pronounced Wal-ya-lup)
Wedged between Perth’s bustling shipping port and a working fishing harbour, there’s nowhere quite like historic and hipster Fremantle.
The port city of Fremantle, or ‘Freo’ to the locals, was historically Perth’s sister city. These days, the two are connected by suburbia and a 25-minute train journey. Wander through the UNESCO-listed streets to discover convict history, funky street art and al fresco cafés. This is where high-end travellers rub shoulders with backpackers, because Freo is eclectic, creative and has a coastal vibe all its own.
The city of Fremantle/Walyalup lies in Whadjuk Nyoongar boodjar country. For over 45,000 years, the Whadjuk Noongar people have seen Fremantle as a place for ceremonies, trading and cultural traditions. One of the best places to experience First Nations culture in Walyalup is the Walyalup Aboriginal Culture Centre.
