Traveler advice
Getting around
Transport.
There’s a couple of FREE “cat” buses which basically cover the whole of Fremantle. They run about every 10/15 minutes.
NOTE: The Fremantle CAT Bus has TWO ROUTES. The BLUE CAT and the RED CAT. The biggest thing to remember is that the last CAT leaves Fremantle Station at 6:20pm on Sat and Sunday and the CATs don't start rolling until 10am! Friday's times are 7:30am to 8pm.
Getting around
Transport.
Trains run from the Fremantle station to Perth city. The station is a 10 minute walk from the house.
