Discovery Outbound - Fremantle Prison Tour

City of Joondalup Libraries’ Discovery Outbound program offers a wide range of activities and excursions for adults aged 50 and older that are active, creative, educational and entertaining.

'As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison' - Nelson Mandela. Though he did not walk through the gates of Fremantle Prison, many a man and woman did right up until November 1991.  Come along and learn about (or revisit) the historic hallways of this world heritage listed convict site in a one hour tour.  There is also the possibility of a brief group talk about the history of the Fremantle markets or you can freely explore them before the bus departs at 1pm

8.45am - meet at Whitford Library to depart 9.00am
