Review:
The Fremantle Prison - the Convict Establishment was built by the convicts that it would house. Between 1850 and 1868, ten thousand men and women were transported to this former colony for a range of offenses. The prison was used after 1868 to incarcerate imperial, colonial, foreign and war prisoners. There was a spike in activity during the gold rush. Exhibitions such as Insider Art, Protest and Unrest, and other topics are scheduled throughout the year. Thematic tours are offered, with intriguing titles like True Crime, Tunnels, Escape and Torchlight. A café provides light refreshment and numerous venues within the complex can be hired.
