Heritage Council - State Heritage Office

The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage acknowledges the Whadjuk Noongar people, the traditional custodians of Walyalup, the land on which Fremantle Prison is located.

The Department pays respect to Elders past and present and all Western Australian Aboriginal communities.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are advised that the website contains names, images, voices, artworks, and stories of people who have passed away.
