Sight seeing This beautiful coastal port city bounded by the Indian Ocean and the Swan River is just 20 km from Perth. The City of Fremantle was established in 1829 as a port for the Swan River Colony and was the major city in Western Australia for much of its early history. Fremantle's unique character is captured by its landscape, its heritage architecture, music, arts and culture, festivals, retail stores and markets, cafés and restaurants, which all contribute to its village style atmosphere - making it a popular destination for local and international visitors. Fremantle is not only a great place to sail but also a great place to visit. Fremantle Markets Smell the unique aromas of fresh produce and exotic flavors see the fascinating fusion of music, art and culture, feel over 100 years of remarkable heritage, and sense the atmosphere that is distinctly Fremantle.
