Fremantle

Once in Perth, you must go to Fremantle! If you dont go to Fremantle, it's like eating nasi lemak without the sambal. Ngeh..ngeh.. ngeh..

Fremantle is a working port, host to a big fishing fleet as well as container ships and large cruise vessels. Zaman dulu-dulu, kapal-kapal yang membawa ramai migrants terutama dari Sri Lanka dan India akan berlabuh di sini. Nama-nama migrants yang mula-mula sampai disini ada terpahat di luar Muzium Maritime. Actually masih ramai lagi migrants especially from Sri Lanka datang ke sini naik kapal but now the authority dah tak nak bagi diorang ni datang, so these people terpaksalah berumahtangga dalam bot yang diorang naik dan kapal diorang berlabuh di luar pantai Australia tetapi bersempadan dengan Indonesia iaitu di perairan antarabangsa. Now diorang ni dikenali dengan nama "Boat People".



There are lots of old buildings around here and many of the buildings have been painstakingly restored. I passed by the old Fire Station which they turned it to be a restaurant but i forgot to take the photo. Sigh! Anyway, there are always something happening around the town - festivals, street performances, art and photography exhibitions.




You can catch a train from Perth train station to Fremantle at Platform 7. Purchase family day ticket which only cost you AUD9.00 for 4 person (2 adults 2 childrens). Just use the same tickets if you need to travel by bus on the same day. Keep the tickets until you get home. Or else just pay for the normal tickets price.

If you like to cruise then jump on board with Captain Cook Cruises. You can enjoy views that you can only see from the river - magnificent riverside homes, famous yatch clubs, the Old Swan Brewery and Kings Park. Kekadang dolphins melompat-lompat sebelah kapal mengiringi perjalanan ke Fremantle atau dari Fremantle.
