Summary
Weather for Garden Island

Captain James Stirling first landed on Garden Island in 1827, and founded the first European settlement in Western Australia. The islands is situated 13 kilometres (8 miles) south of Fremantle. Is the site of a maintenance facility for the Royal Australian Navy. A causeway 13,809 feet (4,209 metres) long links it with the mainland.

Public access to the island is by private boat and a causeway over four kilometres long links the island to the mainland. Only 80% of the island is open to the public, and you must leave by nightfall.

Garden Island has beautiful beaches and bays, and is an ideal place for picnics, swimming, fishing, surfing and sailing! Also, look out for the native Tammar, a small species of wallaby that lives freely on Garden Island. Some remnants of the first settlement can be seen at Cliff Head. The original well is there, and a memorial and lookout has also been constructed.
