Harbour where kids have fun posing with statues, watch puffer fishes, boats and board walk. Not many eatery, maybe an ice cream parlor, fish and chips, and a brewery.

There is so much to see and do on Fremantle’s Harbour Front. From brewery’s and restaurants. There are fabulous statues along the way including the Bon Scott statue, so keep a look out for them. There is also the I ❤️ Fremantle sign, so grab a selfie. If visiting the area, do go down and check the area out.
