Book in for a Port Walk

Our port volunteers, the Friends of Fremantle Ports, run two Port Walks a week, on specific topics such as history and architecture, maritime operations, trade and logistics, or environment, or an overview of all these topics.

The Fremantle Inner Harbour was opened in 1897 and as WA’s major general cargo trading gateway has progressed through massive change in its history.

It’s been at the forefront of Western Australia's development and history. It facilitated the gold-rush boom times, was the entry point for hundreds of thousands of immigrants up until the 1970s, has had a rich labour history and was the largest submarine base in the southern hemisphere during World War II. Containerisation changed trade forever about 50 years ago.

The Fremantle Inner Harbour is a modern, innovative port with a rich history and taking a Port Walk is a relaxing, interactive way of finding out about it. Our volunteers love questions!
