Fremantle Prison

Fremantle Prison is a former convict gaol and World Heritage site that runs guided tours through its cells, yards and underground spaces. Tours focus on daily life, escapes and true-crime stories, with knowledgeable guides who mix fact and storytelling. The site gives a clear, tangible sense of Western Australia’s penal past.

Highlights

  • Choose from several guided options: a general convict tour for the full history, a Behind Bars walk that explores living conditions, a Torchlight Tour that uses atmosphere and storytelling, and themed true-crime tours.
  • Guides use original records and local stories, and tours include cell blocks, exercise yards and some underground sections.
  • Some tours use low light or narrow passages, which adds atmosphere and may not suit very young children.
