Fremantle - Asylum These days the Fremantle Arts Centre .. in the old days this was an asylum. Legend has it that this place is haunted - lights go spookily on and off - I can't verify that. The building looks great on Hampton Road, just across the road from the swimming pool complex. This was built between 1861 and 1864 and is a fine piece of period architecture. January 2009 |

Fremantle - Flag & Whistle Hotel This used to be a wharfie's pub - simply known as "The Australia Tavern". Now it's the Flag & Whistle and looking decidedly in need of attention as a lot of backpacker hostels do. It's right across the road from where the bridge across the railway lines comes out. March 2009 |

Fremantle - Modern Apartments Great looking apartment buildings springing up. These are on the corner Parry Street and the road that follows the railway line. Right next to the old wool stores! March 2009 |

Fremantle - Victoria Hall The very sturdy looking Victoria Hall stands on the east part of High Street, near Josephson Street. April 2011

Fremantle - Wool Store Fremantle wool stores. This building is sadly now rather derelict. Hardly an intact pane of glass. I think the owners would like to redevelop but have an argument going on with authorities over the preservative of the building facade (according to recent newspapers) and other stuff. March 2009 |

Fremantle - Wool Store For any migrant coming into W.A. by ship for so many years this would have been their first view of Australia. The wool stores dominating the view. It's hardly charged at all across the decades. March 02, 2009 |

Fremantle - Cinema Still in Princess May Park, here is the old Theatre building. Outside cinema is ready to go off to right of picture. Wasn't this place once known as PIFT? Now, FTI (Film and Television Institute), Bohemian Outdoor Theatre. January 2012 |

Fremantle - Traffic Bridge This is the original bridge spanning the Swan River. It was the only road bridge up until the 1970's when the Stirling Bridge was built a bit upstream in East Fremantle. September 2010 |

Fremantle - Traffic Bridge Underneath the old traffic bridge. You can see its made almost completely of wood. The bridge was closed quite a few years ago for maintenance during which some of those beams and pillars were no doubt replaced. September 2010 |
