Culture & heritage · Perth — Fremantle Prison — local return
Enter the layered history of Fremantle Prison
A guided tour reveals convict labour, punishment, escape stories and the prison’s much later operation. Pair it with Fremantle’s maritime streets and markets, but allow the confronting history its own space rather than treating the site as entertainment alone.
