The historic West End of Fremantle contains the Roundhouse, Arthur s Head, and the Whaler s Tunnel. Our School Development Officer escorts classes through this fascinating area, showing the site of Fremantle s first courts and place of public executions. History is re-enacted at 1pm when the cannon on Arthur s Head is fired as a time signal to shipping. The Old Fremantle Courthouse is a fine example of early colonial legal architecture. It has been refurbished to simulate its original courthouse function.
