The Fremantle Esplanade isn't huge, but it's most definitely got it going on! Rarely does a weekend pass when the joint isn't jumping. If the ferris wheel with views over the town, port and Indian ocean doesn't cut it for you, then stop and take a closer look around. The newly opened Esplanade Youth Plaza was positively pumping throughout the school holidays and this continues every weekend.

I've been asked to spread the word about a fabulous little event that's kicking off in our beloved Fremantle tomorrow, 9th May. Fairly Fashionable is a fashion show (darling) to promote the awareness of Fair Trade, encouraging the shopaholics amongst us (Hello, My name is Sarah..) to consider the conditions under which our beloved threads are made.  Even if you can't make it

1. Walk out to the green lighthouse, sit on a rock and watch the world go by. (Ok, I know that's technically 3 things but..)  2. Stroll along George Street in the afternoon, stopping for brunch and a 'Isn't life Awesome' moment.   3. Go to France, as in the Whisper Wine Bar for some cheese and vino.  4. Visit the Fremantle Arts Centre and enjoy a brew in the garden whilst

Think it's time you got to know Fremantle a little better? Well here's the festival for you!  The Fremantle Heritage Festival is set to be a whirlwind of walking treks, bicycle tours, art, music and dancing.

May the Fourth (Insert Dodgy Star Wars Slogan Here) - Actually, just a regular Sunday in and around Fremantle... Sunday Morning at the Growers Green Farmers Market Funny old day today in our neck of the woods. The sun sits high in the sky but can barely be seen for the clouds. Its definitely chillier than we've encountered in a while, but still a beautiful day. First port of call was the

Well what's one to do on a chilly Monday night in Freo? I can answer this with confidence after spending last night at Bread in Common in the heart of Fremantle.  I've been lucky enough to visit this eatery on many previous  occasions and the most recent did not disappoint. The converted warehouse is beautifully utilised to make the most of the almost cavernous space. An interior

Did you know you can hire a bike for FREE from the Fremantle Visitor Centre? It is without a doubt one of the best ways to explore the back streets and meander down the esplanade, and far less stressful than trying to find a parking spot. It's worth a mention that the bikes are of the very trendy Papillon variety. Alternatively, if your pedal power isn't up to much you can hire an electric bike

There are 2 markets in Freo, one perfectly situated at the end of the cappuccino strip, opposite the Fremantle Ovel, with the other (B Shed) behind the train station and perched on the edge of the Swan river. Both are open Friday to Sunday, with the former most certainly being the most lively of the two. The main Fremantle Markets are almost always packed to the brim, and even the tourist tat is

What a wonderful weekend to find yourself in Freo! TheFremantle Street Arts Festival has certainly drawn the crowds and the biggest problem you'll have is what to do first! With the infamous Cappuccino Strip closed to all vehicles, visitors are able to fill the streets and soak up the wonderful festival atmosphere. The Fremantle Story website has a full list of all the events and today is

I'm quite sad to report that this Saturday was the last of the Bathers Beach Sunset Markets. I'm happy to report that they'll be back next summer! YAY! If you didn't make it then don't fret. 'Like' the Facebook Page so you'll be the first to know when the fun kicks off at the start of next Summer. Always a pleasant evening, Saturday was no different. We grabbed our bikes and enjoyed a steady

Today was a special day.  Today was the first day in approximately 6 months (who's counting?) that I visited one of my most loved Fremantle establishments.  It is here one can find happiness, love and utter contentment. Yes my fellow foodies, I'm talking about San Churros.  Just take a moment to inhale the aroma of fresh donut churros, soft on the inside but crispy
