- Places to visit and things to do
For sailing enthusiasts, a stopover in Fremantle includes a visit to the Shipwreck Galleries. Housed in an 1852 warehouse, the gallery's exhibits plunge you into the maritime history of the Southern Hemisphere. The highlight of the visit is the wreck of the Batavia, a ship that ran aground in 1629. This ship belonged to a well-known Dutch merchant of the time. For art lovers, a stopover in Fremantle reveals a city embellished by a number of bronze sculptures. The majority of these works of art are by Australian artist Greg James. The sculpture dedicated to Australian singer Bon Scott is one of the most famous. Not far from the fishing port, admire the sculpture named To The Fishermen. On Parry Street, you'll find the Mark of the Century. Aboriginal art takes pride of place at the Japingka Gallery on High Street. For moments of relaxation, a detour to the Esplanade Reserve is highly recommended. This haven of freshness and tranquillity is close to the Fishing Boat Harbour.
