FREMANTLE
The major port of Australia’s remote west coast, Fremantle began life as a place of punishment. The magnificently preserved sandstone prison conceals a thousand stories. But the ethnically diverse port city has since been the sight of some of Australia’s greatest triumphs… and disappointments.

Thank you Tony for all the history you've brought to a contemporary audience. I just wish that Australians would make the kind of documentaries that come from the UK. I'm just frustrated that I can't guy a bluray set of the entire Time Team collection.

Tony Robinson is a gentleman and a scholar. Apologies, Sir Tony. As someone from London Canada, I've grown up under British Empire influence. I truly appreciate Tony's care to historical fact, he brings a spark to everything he does. For an example, I've learnt more about the history of my city from him then from local libraries. I mean everything here is named for one Lord or another. Tony, If you read this. Thank you, - Brian.

Just after the Americas cup euphoria i was on my way back to Oz from Singapore with the boss from the USA who made the unkind remark "I have never had an Australian wine worth drinking" we stopped in Freo and went to an Italian restaurant and chose they best they had on the menu, he felt vindicated. Fortunately our next stop was Melbourne and "The Willows" on St Kilda road and a full page of Grange. With he and my GF we drank three bottles. The look on his face when he copped the bill was "memorable" The vino in "bubbleaway" got better too.

Great clip. Used to work at Ginos back in the 90s, loved it. Nice to see Horatio he's one of a kind. The Town Square is undergoing a major redevelopment and will soon be a major commercial and residential hub. Visited the Batavia wreck several times growing up but had no idea of the dark brutal history. Yikes!

Hey Tony, I'm not sure when this was filmed but the Museum you visited isn't the actual Maritime Museum, it is just called Shipwreck Galleries. The Maritime Museum is around 300 meters towards the Harbour at Victoria Qauy.

We should have stopped & listened to the aboriginal people, they knew how to make this country productive & a beautiful place to live in, but noooo the Brits turned up & stopped them, forced them yo live like they were in England & now we have so many problems. Crazy way to turn up on someone's front doorstep, push them out of the way & treat them like animals.
