A marine chart of the Fremantle area, posted outside in front of the Round House, showing the Swan River entering the Indian Ocean at the top-right, Garden Island the long narrow island towards the bottom, and Rottnest Island over on the top-left side.

The Round House, the oldest remaining intact building in Western Australia and the first permanent building in Fremantle/Perth. It was first built as a jail in 1831. Later on it became a regular police station and nowadays is a small museum with great views over Freo and the harbour.
