Fremantle Prison


No, I haven't been locked up just yet, it's just one of the attractions of Freo - Fremantle Prison. It's a very interesting place to visit especially considering it was used as a prison from 1886 up to 1991 so not that long ago. And if you decide to go there I recommend so called "Torchlight Tour" during which you get to explore the prison during the night. With all the lights being off and just a torch in your hand.

  1. To jest dobre. Za dodatkowe 50 dolców powinni fundowac tygodniowe wakacje w tym przybytku.
