Returning to Perth
No designated time for returning to Perth has been set. You can either return to Perth by train, or catch a ferry back.
Train:
The train departs from the Fremantle Railway station. On Saturdays, a train departs Fremantle every 15 minutes.
Note on fares: Public transport fares in Perth are based on a zone system. Perth is in Zone 1, and Fremantle is in Zone 2. You therefore need to purchase a 2 zone ticket. The ticket is valid for 2 hours and a cash ticket currently costs $4.00, and can be purchased at the railway station.
Ferry:
Captain Cook run ferries back to Perth
Getting around Fremantle.
Option 1: ( $25 )
Fremantle Tram Tours run a hop on hop off tour around Fremantle (
http://fremantletrams.com/Day-Tours/...-off-tour.html).
There is a stop near where the ferry will arrive, and is scheduled at the stop shortly after the ferry arrives.
Note that it is on a winter schedule, and for people catching the train back, the last drop off time at the railway station is 3:40pm
Option 2: ( free )
The City of Fremantle operates a free CAT (central area transit) bus. The red cat begins service from the Maritime Museum, which is not far from the arrival jetty.
Option 3:
