Take a tour of Victoria Quay with an expert guide from Fremantle Ports as part of Fremantle Design Week. 

Fremantle Harbour and Victoria Quay are rich in design history. The Fremantle Inner Harbour was designed by State Engineer CY O’Connor and opened in 1897, and Victoria Quay occupies the port’s southern side. Between the award-winning WA Maritime Museum (2002) and the historic Passenger Terminal (1962) sits an array of structures whose industrial architecture reflects the economic, social and cultural history of the state.

Each tour will commence at the iconic Fremantle Ports Building (1964). Returning at the end of the 1.5 hour tour you’ll have the opportunity to visit the observation desk on top of the building – Fremantle’s highest point – and get a birds-eye view of the port and beyond!

The walks are free, however numbers are limited so registration is essential.
