Facts and practical information

Walyalup Koort, formerly known as Kings Square, is a town square in Fremantle, Western Australia. It is bounded by Queen, Newman, William, and Adelaide Streets. Though the square was originally a public reserve, it has been the site of Saint John's Church of England since 1843, and the Fremantle Town Hall since 1887. High Street was extended through and beyond the square in the 1880s, but the portion through the square was closed off in the 1960s. Today Walyalup Koort functions as a civic and cultural centre of Fremantle, with modern events taking place adjacent to the historic buildings. ()
