Fremantle Travel Forum

I have friends coming over from europe. They want to take a 3 to 6 months Englisch course in order to prepare for immigration next year.
Who can recommend a serious school preferable in Fremantle (or Perth) for adults?
Cheers, Kris

can u tell me more abou the anchor walk in fremantle

Greetings. Sorry to prevail upon the wisdom of Australians yet again, but... when last I was in Fremantle, I was taken to a place - a large shed, really - that was packed from end to end with the most astonishing collection of vintage toy cars, trucks, trains, planes, toys and so forth. I'm not making this up; I know I'm not dreaming and I swear I haven't had a frostie for at least 22 minutes. Does is exist? What is it? Where is it? Why is it?

PS: I'm sure it was near your famous aquarium (the one you walk through while Johnnies (sharks) swim over your head)

Greetings all. Four of us (South Africans) will be in Freo at the end of this month. I was last there about 12 years ago with some good buddies and we had a rip-roaring time in a pub that sold a beer called Red Back (named after your world-famous spider).

A few years ago, one of my travelling companions (my best friend, actually) was killed in an air crash, so it would be a sort of pilgrimage for me to find that pub again and lift a glass in his memory. The pub might have been called the Red Back (although I doubt it), or even the Dogbolter (or was that one of the brews we downed . . . I was tired and confused at the time :-). Or maybe it was the Anchor.

Question is: does it still exist and where in Fremantle is it? I recall it had an amazing shop selling all sorts of beers and pub memorabilia. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers

I have one more question - where in Fremantle is possible to run (caa 10 km). We'll be staying near F.Preason and I'm looking for nearest possible location for running. Is it save to run outside when it gets dark? Are there some fitness clubs (for running on machines)?

I am staying in Fremantle for three weeks with two sons (3 and 8 years)- at the end of July and beginning of August. I'm looking for information about places to eat (suitable for children) and things to do between 8 am and 5 pm. Also, which trips would you recommand me for weekends (to sleep over for a night or two somewhere else, perhaps)? What are the costs for inner flights (eg. if we want to go to Sharks bay)?
I'll be glad if you give me some tips.

We are planning a visit to WA (Fremantle/Perth) for one week in January as part of an around-the-world-trip.

On this moment thinking to visit:
Rottnest Island, Pinnacles, "the loop Hyden/Rock Wave- Albany-Fremantle" and Fremantle and Perth

Wating for tips and information about:
- our itinerary and must see activities
- accommodation in Fremantle, Cervantes, Hyden and
Albany
(we prefer smaller family hotels or B&B's, average
priced)
- reliable and affordable rental car companies

looking forward to replies

Hello everyone!
I'm travelling to Freemantle in a couple of weeks time. Has anyone got some recommendations on where to stay? I've never been there so I hope to get some insider advice. Thanks!!!
