Spend the day in Fremantle to see a city where the past of the first settlers in Australia is still very present. Unique in Australia!

Fremantle, or "Freo" for short, is the trendy and relaxed port just south of Perth. Perth residents come to Freo to relax at the weekend, eat ice cream, chill out on a café terrace, go to a concert, or lounge on the grass.
My suggestion
Go and see the covered markets, open all weekend (Friday to Sunday).
This part of Australia is unique and distinguishes itself from the other part of Queensland and the rest of the country by its impressive rain forests, deserted beaches, and very diverse animal and plant life. You must have heard people talk about the "wet tropics" which is home 36% of the country's animal species.
