Hedda's VLog: Fancy Places in Freo - Episode IV

Hi everybody,
Welcome to my 4th VLog.
I visited the Round House in Fremantle, which is the oldest public building in WA, dating from 1830. It was originally built as a gaol and later used as prison. At the lookout point towards the ocean a cannon is located which provides still a daily time shot at 1pm. So make sure not to miss that. In the olden days, this signal was very important for the mariners to be able to set their chronometers right on their boats and thus make exact navigation possible. The procedure was ceased in 1937 when telegraphy was available.
Underneath the Round House there is a tunnel, which connects the beach with the town to provide access for the whalers who were down on Bathers beach.
So once you're down in Freo, have a look! It is located at the end of High Street and it's got a beautiful view to the ocean and Fremantle’s coastline.
Cheers, Hedda.
