Walk Fremantle, Perth's old port
Fremantle is the old port of Perth, a town of limestone buildings, markets and cafes at the mouth of the Swan River. FOG starts the map dark and clears only what you walk, and the whole town fits in a day.
The town
Fremantle's centre is full of nineteenth century buildings. The Fremantle Markets, in a Victorian hall, open from Friday to Sunday. South Terrace, called the Cappuccino Strip, is lined with cafes.
Fremantle Prison, a convict built prison used until 1991, sits on the hill above the town and is part of a World Heritage listing of Australian convict sites. Tours go through the cells and tunnels.
The water
The Round House, the oldest public building in Western Australia, stands on a headland at the end of High Street, with a tunnel underneath to the beach. Bathers Beach is just below.
Fishing Boat Harbour, south of the centre, has restaurants on the water. The Western Australian Maritime Museum sits on Victoria Quay. Ferries leave for Rottnest Island.
Coverage
Fremantle is compact and flat. Summer is hot, with the Fremantle Doctor, a cool afternoon sea breeze.
A day covers the centre, the harbour and the prison. Perth is a short train ride up the river.
What the app adds to a walk
The ledger tracks the area you have unfogged, the distance you have covered and your share of the whole Earth. Ranks climb with area, from Fogbound and Wanderer up through Scout, Pathfinder and Explorer to Atlas. The collection fills with the countries, regions and cities you have actually stood in, and nothing else can add to it.
Everything stays on the phone: no account, no cloud, no app analytics, no ads. If you already have years of Google Timeline or GPX history, FOG Unlimited can import it, a single purchase rather than a subscription, so Fremantle walks you took before installing appear on the map the same day.
