Are you feeling brave? Explore the darker side of the Fremantle Prison story at night on an eerie tour by torchlight. Cringe at the ghastly, the rotten, the wretched and the inhumane experiences and events in the prison's history. Featuring the Main Cell Block, solitary confinement, whipping post, the gallows and the morgue, these tours are not for the faint hearted. Be warned – there are a few surprises along the way!
Join us every Friday night as we take a torchlight tour of Fremantle’s oldest buildings. With the tram seating converted to dining car style we visit:
With other stops and surprises along the way your driver will entertain you with the historic background of the buildings and tales of some of Fremantle’s earliest residents, some of who may choose to put in an appearance!
At each stop we take a torchlight walking tour of the grounds*. Included in your evening is a Cicerellos fish 'n' chip supper** and a soft drink served at your table.
The tram departs from the Town Hall Stop at 6:45pm and returns at about 10:30pm
Bookings for this tour are essential. This is a great fun social evening recommended age 10+ and ideal for social clubs.
Have you ever felt your skin tingle or the temperature of a room suddenly drop as you walk in? Perhaps you have seen something you are not quite sure about or you are just interested in the Paranormal or Unexplained.
This is what happened to me when I first entered The Midland Town Hall for a council meeting. Being new to council I didnt want everyone to think I was crazy so I said nothing. Some months went by and over a meal one night I overheard other councillors discussing the Ghost. I was very interested and became involved in the conversation. I discovered that many unexplained incidents had occured over the years in the Town Hall. I was interested to find out more so I visited the Midland library to start my research and to my amazement there were several records relating to unexplained incidents. I decided to dig deeper and after a lot of research and talking to numerous staff and others who have a lot to do with the Hall, I found that there was a lot more to the odd Ghost story as thought. I decided to investigate the stories and called in West Coast Paranormal to see if we could find out more about the Ghosts that had been seen by various people
What followed was amazing. West Coast Paranormal have stated that ” The Midland Town Hall is one of the most active buildings they have investigated in the past 6 years.” I personally have seen two Ghosts in the town hall.
Ghost Tours have been set up to share this experience with all: those who are curious, the believers and the sceptics. Tours will be held every second Friday and workshops will be held on one Saturday evening every quarter. Come along and see the Ghost hunting equipment in use and hear about the Ghosts that we believe live in the Town Hall.
The records show that the Woodman’s Point Quarantines Station was being used for the quarantining of people and of cargo as far back as the 1830’s. However – it was not until 1885 that a tender for a quarantine station at Woodman’s Point was agreed on and the first building was completed in 1886.
In the years to come, the Government soon realised they did not have appropriate accommodation or holding facilities to cope with large amount of passenger vessels with quarantine concerns.
Extensions were made to the Woodman’s Point Quarantine Station in 1901 which included a new tram line from the Jetty (The Jetty is no longer standing) to the Fumigation house. More work was done during World War 1 and the buildings at the Quarantine Station were modernised and expanded.
Keeping Infectious diseases like the, Bubonic Plague – Small Pox – Venereal diseases – TB and Spanish Flu, under control and trying to save peoples’ lives was a full time battle for the staff at the station.
It is estimated that over 3 hundred people lost their lives from these horrific diseases, and some of their bodies were burned and laid to rest in one of the two known grave yards at the Station. (There may be more grave yards on the site) Sadly the two known grave yards have been lost to the Western Australian bush, and only a few of the graves can still be found to this very day.
Many members of the staff (Nurses and Doctors) at the Station contracted these diseases and in some cases they lost their lives too.
The old Quarantine Station is now run by the Department of Sports and Recreation, and now days they run children’s camps from the site. The DSR has fully restored around 90% of these wonderful old buildings to their original condition, and the buildings are now under the protection of the National Trust. Here is a list a few of few of the buildings one will find at this very historic site: Two Hospitals – Fumigation house – male and female shower block – Doctor’s surgery and crematorium. (the crematorium has rarity value as Australias first crematorium and this intact facility is therefore the nations oldest extant crematorium.)
As one can imagine with such a rich history of illness and death, The old Quarantine Station has had many reports super natural activity. These paranormal activities have also been experienced by Rebecca and many others, while they have been on tour at this site!
