The Round House

We also visited the Round House in Fremantle. It is the oldest building still standing in Western Australia. It was built in 1830 and was used for colonial and indigenous prisoners until 1886. Then it was used as a police lock-up until 1900. Now it is a museum.



Here I'm pointing to the Australian flag on top of the Round House!

There is a tunnel under the Round House. It was built in 1837 by the Fremantle Whaling Company, as the area was known as a whaling hub in those days.
