Fremantle Markets since 1897- Find everything you're looking for. And plenty you're not. More than 150 stalls. Over 100 years of history. The Fremantle Markets is an authentic piece of Western Australian history. Come and soak up the atmosphere. Orignally built as a market hall in 1897, this grand old Victorian building was authentically and lovingly restored to be reborn on October 31, 1975, as what you see today, the Fremantle Markets. The Perth Minth opened in 1899 and immediately became Australia's biggest gold refinery. Recently renovated as a museum and sales outlet for gold products, the building is one of the best remaining of colonial architecture of the Victorian era.

3. Rebecca's Tip on Perth

Perth, Western Australia, Australia

When visiting Perth you have to do a cruise from Perth to Fremante down the Swan River past Kings Park, yacht clubs and mansions. Spend some time in Freo - lots of history, very cultural, great restaurants and pubs - try Little Creatures Brewery.

Hyden, Western Australia, Australia

A visit to Wave Rock is a must. It is so beautiful. The "wave" part of the rock is about 15 m (50 ft) high and around 110 m (350 ft) long. The 'wave' formation was formed 60 million years ago

5. Robert's Tip on Bunbury

Bunbury, Western Australia, Australia

As you walk along Ocean Drive near the Pendal Street turnoff you may notice a small memorial plaque for "The Captain's Place" sitting alone in a grassed area overlooking the Indian Ocean.
If you were to stop and ask people passing by who this plaque is dedicated to I would suspect that many of them would not be able to tell you this.
Captain Bob Allsop was Harbour Master for the Port of Bunbury from 1963 - 1988. He lived in the house directly opposite from the plaque and tended the small patch of grass from where he would stand and observe the ever changing ocean.
As a gesture of appreciation for the Captain's services to the Bunbury Community this plaque was placed on the spot he spent so much time watching the ocean in it's many and everchanging moods.
The plaque itself isn't very a grand statement in but it is a small part of Bunbury's short history and you may want to gaze west from the same spot and enjoy the view.
