About Me

My photo
Perth/Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia
An independent, working woman, I live in a riverside suburb close to both Fremantle and Perth. Having lived in Perth for over thirty years it's obvious that I love the place, though there are still things that irritate and make me squirm with embarrassment. Occasionally they will make an appearance; but generally speaking this is a pretty good place to live.

Fremantle Arts Centre

Early Sunday morning while driving to along Hampton Road I took the opportunity to take a few photos of one of the most impressive looking buildings in Fremantle......the Fremantle Arts Centre, initially an Asylum it has had a chequered career with many and varied uses.  Hopefully it will continue to serve the community in its current capacity as an Arts Centre and a more recent addition as a small open air concert venue.

As seen from the road - imposing

The building sits behind a large limestone wall ...... but aroumd the corner is the entrance and unexpectedly




 original post box





old for WA

















Inside there is an inviting garden with large leafy trees and a delightful courtyard cafe for early morning breakfast or later a delicious lunch.  A mixture of jazz and blues was on offer for later that day.

Cool relief on a hot afternoon









Treasures were there for those willing to take the time to look.
