Fremantle
is
one
of
the
best
preserved
19th
century
seaports
in
the
world,
with
over
150
buildings
classified
by
the
National
Trust.
Straddling
Fremantle
Harbour
on
the
edge
of
the
Indian
Ocean
the
town
is
rich
in
maritime
history,
the
Western
Australia
Maritime
Museum
boasting
an
internationally
important
collection
of
shipwreck
relics
some
dating
back
to
the
Dutch
sailors
of
the
17th
century.
Still
a
world
famous
sailing
destination
Fremantle
was
once
home
to
the
America's
Cup
The
best
way
to
get
a
feel
for
Fremantle
is
to
relax
at
one
of
the
many
alfresco
cafes
on
the
cappuccino
strip
in
South
Terrace
-
one
of
the
most
cosmopolitan
streets
in
Australia.
You'll
be
entertained
by
a
pavement
sideshow
of
buskers,
that
is
if
your
eyes
are
not
drawn
to
a
painting
by
one
of
Fremantle's
many
talented
artists
first.
For
pure
Australiana,
you
can
breast
the
bar
at
a
superbly
renovated
gold
boom
pub
and
sample
local
boutique
beers
with
quirky
names
like
"Redback"
and
"Dogbolter"
When
Fremantle
hosted
the
1987
America's
Cup,
the
city
was
treated
to
a
facelift,
and
the
festivities
have
never
really
stopped.
So
bring
a
healthy
appetite
for
rib-sticking
food,
great
times
and
good
friends
-
and
discover
the
port
of
fun.
