Guide to Fremantle

Aboriginal name:  Walyalup (pronounced Wal-ya-lup)

• Share Share on Facebook Share on Messenger Share on Twitter Share on WhatsApp Copy Link
• Getting to Fremantle
• When to visit

Wedged between Perth’s bustling shipping port and a working fishing harbour, there’s nowhere quite like historic and hipster Fremantle.

The port city of Fremantle, or ‘Freo’ to the locals, was historically Perth’s sister city. These days, the two are connected by suburbia and a 25-minute train journey. Wander through the UNESCO-listed streets to discover convict history, funky street art and al fresco cafés. This is where high-end travellers rub shoulders with backpackers, because Freo is eclectic, creative and has a coastal vibe all its own.

The city of Fremantle/Walyalup lies in Whadjuk Nyoongar boodjar country. For over 45,000 years, the Whadjuk Noongar people have seen Fremantle as a place for ceremonies, trading and cultural traditions. One of the best places to experience First Nations culture in Walyalup is the Walyalup Aboriginal Culture Centre .

• Traditional name: Walyalup (pronounced Wal-ya-lup)
• Indigenous Peoples: Whadjuk Noongar people
• Traditional lands: Whadjuk Nyoongar boodjar country
• Traditional languages: There are two traditional languages in Walyalup: Beeliar and Whadjuk Noongar
• How to say g’day Noongar: kaya

It’s about a 30-minute drive from either central Perth or Perth Airport to Fremantle. 

• Perth Airport (PER) is 27km (17mi) from Fremantle, and services domestic and international arrivals
• Hire cars, taxis and ride share services are readily available at the airport
• A public train to Fremantle is available from Perth city at Perth Station

Fremantle is a pedestrian-friendly neighbourhood, which makes walking one of the best ways to explore. There’s also a free bus that operates in a loop around Fremantle.

Fremantle has consistent weather year-round, with hot summers and mild winters. Spring is generally considered a great time to visit, as temperatures are warm and wildflowers are blooming.

• High season: Dryer seasons (September to January)
• Low season: Wetter seasons (March to May)
• Don’t miss: Whale watching in spring (September to November)

The ultimate travel guide to Fremantle

• Getting there

Discover the modern and historical charms of Fremantle (or Freo as the locals call it). Find quaint bookstores, galleries and installation art scattered around the city, linger in one of the many cafés or lively cocktail bars, and walk through the maze of streets in the historic West End. Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of the sprawling parklands of Esplanade Reserve; ride the Tourist Wheel Fremantle, and let the kids take advantage of the playground. Don’t forget to catch the ferry to meet the cute-as-a-button quokkas on nearby Rottnest Island. There is something to explore in every precinct of this portside city.

Getting to Fremantle

Drive from Perth to Fremantle in 30 minutes via the Stirling Highway or Kwinana Freeway and Canning Highway.

Alternatively, hire a bike from the Fremantle Visitor Centre and take advantage of the many self-guided cycling trails around Fremantle. Or time your visit with whale-watching season in September to see the Western Australian humpback whales pass through Fremantle as they head south to Antarctica with Whale Watch Western Australia.

McCarthy was drafted with pick 14 in 2013 and played 21 games for the Giants in Sydney, but requested a trade home to Perth due to homesickness.

He was granted the trade and joined Fremantle at the end of 2016.

McCarthy was the club's leading goal kicker in 2017 and played 49 games for the Dockers in total before being cut at the end of 2020.

Midway through the 2020 season McCarthy collapsed at training, and was later diagnosed with epilepsy.

"On behalf of everyone at the Fremantle Football Club, we extend our deepest sympathies to Cam's family at this unimaginably difficult time," Fremantle CEO Simon Garlick said.

"Cam came to the club from Greater Western Sydney in 2016 and played 49 games for Fremantle after initially being drafted from South Fremantle.

"His death is tragic, and to all of his family, friends and teammates, we extend our deepest condolences.

"Cam was a kind and easy-going person at the club, and he was someone who had a habit of making people smile and laugh. His talent was undeniable and he loved his footy.

"Our thoughts are with Cam's family and his loved ones during this time."

South Fremantle, McCarthy's junior club, added: "Cam is remembered as not just a prodigious football talent but as a popular, compassionate and caring person who had time for everyone at our club," South Fremantle said in a statement.

"He will be dearly missed."

The Giants, meanwhile, said McCarthy had made a huge impact after being drafted, describing his "great energy" around the club.

"We are saddened to learn of Cam's passing. The news has had a profound impact on many current and former GIANTS players and staff," said club CEO David Matthews.

"Cam had great energy and was a much-loved member of our club for the seasons he was here. He was very popular and a bright footballing talent.

The AFL Players Association also released a statement, saying it was "a terribly sad time" for the code.

"All at the AFLPA extend our deepest sympathies to Cam's family, friends and all of the people who worked and played alongside him at the GWS Giants and Fremantle," AFL CEO Paul Marsh said.

AFL boss Andrew Dillon added: "On behalf of everyone at the AFL, our deepest sympathies and thoughts are with the entire McCarthy family and Cam's loved ones and friends, along with his former teammates from both Fremantle and GWS."
