Fremantle
Fremantle is one of my favourite suburbs to visit on the weekends. Just a 20min drive from the city and it’s everything I encompass Perth to be: Beach, Seafood, Shopping, Cafe culture, relaxed atmosphere, huge on boating culture, Weekend markets, green lawns and beautiful sunsets.
The city is named after Captain Charles Fremantle, the English naval officer who had pronounced possession of Western Australia and who established a camp at the site. The city contains well-preserved 19th-century buildings and other heritage features. The Western Australian vernacular diminutive for Fremantle is “Freo”
Usual itinerary as follows: Park at the CPP car park. Walk into the weekend market. Order a ham & cheese crepe. Eat and walk through the Farmer’s market. Walk down the cafe strip. Window shop a bit. Check out the Onitsu Tigers at Wonderlust. The Cornere store on South Terrace. Coffee at Merchant Coffee & Tea Leaf cafe. Walk to the beach. Watch the sunset. Come dinner time, walk to Cicerellos for fish & chips or chilli mussels.
My favourite shop in Fremantle is the Corner Store on South Terrace. Love love LOVE everything in there.

Hey r3n, no i didn’t :/ just passed by. Was so stuffed with fish & chips already. Had no space for anything else :/
Yeah +1 r3n – Mad Monk brewed beer is pretty good, Chris and I tried to steal 4 Mad Monk glasses a few years back and I dropped one on the floor alterting the staff – so we had to make a run for it!!
On the bottom on the glass there is an in print of a monks head – hence why we took them!
next time chopper.
