Getting There -- Parking is plentiful, but driving is frustrating in the maze of one-way streets. Most attractions are within walking distance (or accessible on the free CAT bus), so take the train to Fremantle and explore on foot.
A nice way to get to Freo and see Perth's river suburbs is on the cruises that run a few times a day from Barrack Street Jetty.
Getting Around -- The orange Fremantle CAT bus makes a comprehensive running loop of local attractions every 10 minutes Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 6:30pm, and on weekends and holidays from 10am to 6:30pm, except Good Friday and December 25 and 26. It is free and departs from the train station.
Visitor Information -- The Fremantle Visitors Centre is in Town Hall, Kings Square (at High St.), Fremantle, WA 6160 (tel. 08/9431 7878; www.fremantlewa.com.au). It's open Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm, Saturday 10am to 3pm, Sunday 11:30am to 2:30pm, closed public holidays.
