Tom911’s report on his trip as in
post 65 about a trip he did
Fremantle also has frequent rail access from Perth, so it's quite easy to get back to Perth. Could easily be down there for lunch, spend the afternoon walking around, and be back in Perth for the evening. The highlight of my visit is just walking around looking at the gorgeous buildings. There is also an indoor marketplace.
Return by train (Transperth) at the time of your choosing. Buy your $4 ticket for the train at the station
