Fremantle

Welcome to Fremantle, the Port of Perth, Lots going on. I'd say small, but, compared to where I currently am its Huge, with shops, markets and public transport (wistful staring). On the coast, which I was excited about, as it had been ages since I'd seen the sea. I know I haven't written for ages so these are extremely backdated. But here goes, have a wander around and let me know what you think.


Through the tunnel to the beach!





A tribute to the fishermen, the monument honors families of fishermen who contributed over the years to the fishing industry

Along the jetty, just picture lots of ice-cream shops and imagine you can smell fish and chips!
Everyone loves a sculpture of a sculptor doing a sculpture





As well as sculptures of sculptures (you know when you say a word too much and it doesn't make sense anymore, well it happened while writing sculpture!), and market places, Fremantle in general has a slightly medieval feel



Fremantle Prison, built as a convict barracks in the 19Th century and remained in used until 1991.between 18850 and 1956 almost 10,000 convicts passed through the system. The prison is now open to the public and a variety of tours take place, both dunning the day and at night. Sadly, my funding ran out so I couldn't tour, but here are a few shots of the outside







Thanks for reading
