Meet Fremantle (Walyalup), Australia’s Top Tourism Town 2025, a character-filled port city where heritage streets meet a vibrant creative scene. Just 25 minutes by train from Perth, it’s a walkable base with grand 19th-century architecture, independent boutiques and easy alfresco dining. Wander from the West End and the beloved Fremantle Markets to Bathers Beach and Fishing Boat Harbour; explore maritime history at the WA Shipwrecks and Maritime Museums (home to Australia II), or step inside World Heritage listed Fremantle Prison for a compelling look at the past. As evening falls, Market Street and Walyalup Koort hum with outdoor tables, live music and local flavours. With a mild coastal climate and everything close at hand, Fremantle offers a relaxed, engaging backdrop for your conference experience.
