Self-Guided Heritage Tour 1 SELF-GUIDED HERITAGE TOUR 1 WELCOME TO CATHEDRAL SQUARE – THE HISTORIC HEART OF PERTH. The precinct you find yourself in has been intertwined with the story of the Perth City since inception. Bordered by St Georges Terrace, Barrack Street, Hay Street and Pier Street – this historic site has become a meeting place for the old and new, hosting the former government buildings (now known as The State Buildings), Perth Town Hall, St George’s Cathedral, The Deanery, the State Administrative Tribunal Building, the Public Trustee, the City of Perth Library and the David Malcolm Justice Centre. Here, within the Square, years of human creativity and ingenuity continue to flourish. The 21st century has seen the space reborn as a destination for those seeking experiences within arts & culture, culinary, wellness, performance, and heritage.

  • 31 July 2020 Fremantle Prison Celebrates 10 Years As Perth's Only World Heritage Listed Site. Fremantle Prison Will This Week
    31 July 2020 Fremantle Prison celebrates 10 years as Perth’s only World Heritage Listed Site. Fremantle Prison will this week celebrate the 10th anniversary of their World Heritage listing as part of the Australian Convict Sites. Inscribed on the prestigious World Heritage List on 31 July 2010, the Australian Convict Sites, which includes 11 properties from around Australia, tell an important story about the forced migration of over 168,000 men, women and children from Britain to Australia during the late 18th and 19th centuries. Fremantle Prison Heritage Conservation Manager, and current Chair of the Australian World Heritage Advisory Committee, Luke Donegan, said, “Fremantle Prison is a monument to the development of Western Australia as we know it today.” “It is the most intact convict-built cell range in the nation and was the last convict establishment constructed in Australia.” The Australian Convict Sites World Heritage Property also includes Cockatoo Island Convict Site, Sydney, NSW (1839–69); Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney, NSW (1819–48); Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area, Norfolk Island (active 1788–1814 and 1824–55); Old Government House and Domain, Parramatta Park, NSW (1788– 1856); and the Old Great North Road, Wiseman’s Ferry, NSW (1828–35). Brickendon-Woolmers Estates, Longford (1820–50s); Darlington Probation Station, Maria Island National Park (1825–32 and 1842–50); Cascades Female Factory, Mount Wellington (1828–56); Port Arthur Historic Site, Port Arthur (1830–77); and Coal Mines Historic Site, Norfolk Bay (1833–48). Fremantle Prison marks the place where the practice of forced migration through transportation ceased with the arrival of the convict ship Hougoumont in January 1868, and is an essential part of the Australian convict story.
