The Round House is a historic building and one of the oldest remaining colonial buildings in Western Australia. It was the first permanent building in the Swan River Colony and served as a gaol for colonial and indigenous prisoners. Visitors can explore the cells and enjoy panoramic views of the Indian Ocean and Fremantle. The site also features a Round House Day event, where volunteers dress in convict-style clothing and reenact prison life. It's a fascinating look into the region's history and a great spot for photography and sightseeing.
