Fremantle is a port city in Western Australia, located at the mouth of the Swan River near Perth.

Founded in 1829 as the first settlement in the Swan River Colony, it served as Western Australia's main harbor and retains significant Victorian-era architecture.

The city is known for its maritime heritage, arts scene, and the notorious Fremantle Prison, now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Locals often call it "Freo."
