Fremantle, a small town at the mouth of the Swan River about 19 miles southwest of Perth.
Freo nicknamed port city with a population of 26,000 souls was first occupied by The Swan River Colonists in 1829, and declared as a city a year later with a name derived from the name of Charles Fremantle, British officials at that time.
In this area very interesting to visit because it has many historical remains of 120 ancient buildings are still preserved and protected as cultural heritage. The city is more attractive because of topography above the limestone hills, which by its original inhabitants (community Nyungar) called Booyeembara. The other part consisting of sandy soil known as Gardoo.
Many roads can be taken if we are going into the city and everything can be accessed with a convenient way. Could by train, bus or ferry. The most rapid and convenient, of course, travel by train from Perth Central Station with the distance of less than 30 minutes. Path trains run by Transpert it has 5 lines, and one led in Fremantle.
Route that is generally referred to as the F-Line was crossed Subiaco is famous for its Sunday Market Sunday market alias. So if we travel to Fremantle conducted on Sunday, unfortunately when we pass objects around Subiaco Train Station.
The place was not just a tourist, but also the purpose of local residents to shop for household, especially fruits and vegetables. Almost all the produce sold is written "This fruit and vegetable garden from the gardens in Western Australia." So, one might say that the love of people towards local products is very high. There can also be found selling food, clothing, housewares, art goods, cut flowers, and the barber at reasonable cost for the bag of Australians, which is about 15 dollars Australian.
If the bill is filled stomach, or just want to sip a cup of hot coffee, we could stop at the hawker center that offers a variety of foods and beverages from around the world under the morning sunshine. There are local food, India, Italy, and do not miss Chinese food.
Once satisfied around the market, we can continue the journey by train to Fremantle. Place the first visit is The Round House, a building at the Arthur Head at the peak and end of the High Street which has very beautiful scenery because we can look at the beauty of the City of Fremantle from the height and the Indian Ocean in the distance.
The building is located close to the Fremantle Railway Station is the oldest permanent building in Western Australia which was built between the years 1830-1831 and is the design of Henry Willey Reveley. Architectural design is based on the Panopticon, which is based on the design type prisons Jeremy Bentham. Initially the building was a prison colony for communities around the Swan River which has 8 cells and prison guards residence. All rooms are overlooking the central courtyard.
Around the year 1850, came the first group of prisoners from England consisting of 75 people to support the formation of colonies (the people) is greater. At that time, it was clear that the building of The Round House no longer able to accommodate them. Therefore, the new prison project was built by prisoners and locals and is known as the Fremantle Prison. The Round House was still used as a prison until 1886, then reclassified as a police custody until 1900, then used as a residence police officer and his family. Fremantle City Government later took over management of The Round House since 1982, and shortly thereafter the building was opened to the public.
Fremantel Prison, also known as the Fremantle Gaol certainly bigger than The Round House because it can accommodate 800 people. That in jail there are exiles from England because of their crimes, local criminals, military prisoners, foreigners, and prisoners of war.
Interestingly, in the building there are art galleries that display and sell paintings by inmates and former inmates. In addition, in several common cell wall art paintings, including paintings from the figures of money counterfeiters James Walsh, a painting hidden behind the white paint over the decades. In fact, there are also paintings from artist Dennis Nozworthy, who was also jailed there, and now a collection of Curtin University, Perth Central Tafe, and the Department of Justice. In another cell wall is also stored Aboriginal paintings of several artists who are not known. There was a tribe of artists who called Timmy Pike Walmajjarri even started his artistic activities at the prison and got a scholarship from Steve Culley and David Wroth because of the beauty of his paintings.
The prison functioned until November 1991. The inmate then was transferred to Casuarina Prison, 30 kilometers south of Perth, with a guard who superketat. The former prison is now visited by tourists, including tours through the water tunnel under the building.
The next visit to the Fremantle Market which is the oldest and most attractive market in Western Australia. The market was designed with the style of Rome by architect HJ Eagles and Charles Oldham. The first stone construction placed by the Western Australian Premier Sir John Forrest on November 6, 1897, and then built in 1898-1902, also by the occupants of the prison.
Originally it was a wholesale food market until the 1950s, then migrated to Perth Market in Wellington Street. Home of the original disassembled, and the main market building used as a packing and distribution center until the 1970's. The building was then left unused until then restore Fremantle City Government in 1975, and reopened on October 31, 1975. The main building structure made of limestone is still used, but the order of the interior changes to accommodate the needs of today.
Clearly, the market had become part of the history of Fremantle. Ornamental designs found on the walls of the market shows how the city's prosperity in ancient times, because the market was built during the gold rush in the surrounding area. Part of the building burned in 1992, but later rebuilt into the fruit and vegetable shopping center by using the iron and wood recycled from Leach Highway Wool Stores.
Now, the market that the local community known as Freo Market, a very interesting place to visit, because in it 150 stalls selling various items ranging from fresh food, fruit, goods made of clay, unique items, to antiques. Make sure you visit the place when it comes to Fremantle, while at the same time looking for unique souvenirs such as kangaroo leather, sheep leather, dried flowers, opal, shell, and many others.
