Whalers Tunnel

The tunnel underneath the Round House was re-opened by the Attorney General Jim McGinty and the Mayor of Fremantle, Peter Tagliaferri in June 2001, as the result of a major joint restoration project by the State Government and the City of Fremantle.

The tunnel, built in 1837, allows access from High St through to the Indian Ocean.

Whalers Tunnel has been closed on and off for the past 16 years and permanently for the last three because of safety concerns due to the danger of collapse at the western end.
