What travelers are saying
- Smile2012england16 contributionsThe night tour (Wednesday and Friday) was one of the best tours I have ver been on. Suspenseful, entertaining, appealing to all ages and informative. Our guide was amazing. The prison is a very special place and eerie before the tour starts, let alone after it. Could not recommend more highly.Written September 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Stephen JCanberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia882 contributionsWe chanced upon the Round House during a morning walk. Had a chat with Allan, one of the volunteers, and decided to go in. Our visit coincided with a bunch of school kids who obviously enjoyed their school excursion. Other volunteers would sidle up and explain a feature if we showed an interest. I took a photo of my wife with a "I'm guilty" and her prison number, later she was-placed in the stocks. I am surprised how long the site maintained our interest. The excellent volunteers with their historical knowledge bring the place to life - well done them.Written August 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andy FDevizes, UK1,298 contributionsWe were taken around what is left (quite a lot!) of this gun battery by a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteer. It's quite a trek up and down the corridors and tunnels, but definitely worth it. Gave a very good idea of what life must have been like for the men who had to man these guns in wartime.Written October 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marcia CMelbourne, Australia60 contributionsWe participated in Allen’s walking tour of Fremantle. Most informative and entertaining. We learnt lots about the early history of Fremantle including interesting facts about the current street scape. An enjoyable couple of hours.Written May 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- burnsbeachbabyBurns Beach, Australia787 contributionsHave a look, this is a barracks built before WW2, walk the beach and enjoy the surrounds, just out of town.Written July 8, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Graham JWagga Wagga, Australia474 contributionsThis was an interesting walk from the city side of the tunnel out on to the beach. The story boards in the wall niches paint a good picture of what it was like for deckhands in early days unloading their ships and getting cargo ashore. Well worth taking the time to stroll through here.Written November 8, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Skeney57Sydney, Australia24,647 contributionsWe spent more time conversing with the Island volunteer then looking at the small exhibition on display. He was a fount of information & loved his job. As an original building it's still worth a quick look and the displays change on a regular basis.Written July 13, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Skeney57Sydney, Australia24,647 contributionsBelieved to have been built in 1858 by the aboriginal prisoners the Rottnest Chapel has served also as the Island school house, meeting place, reading room & post office during its lifetime. The silhouette of the Chapel symbolizes all colonial built buildings on the Island. Small & whitewashed it is a great relic of the times and was re-consecrated back in the 1960's and is still in use for Sunday service plus weddings. A great piece of history lives !!Written July 16, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Graeme TFremantle, Australia370 contributionsThis massive Morton Bay Fig tree (across from St Patrick’s Basilica) was planted on the 21st October 1890 to commemorate the granting of self-government to the Colony of Western Australia by Queen Victoria.
At the same location is a memorial to a prominent colonial citizen William Edward Marmion (1845-1896)
It is just other fascinating aspect of the rich tapestry of Fremantle history.Written June 9, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
