Fremantle, definately Anglo-Saxon.

In fact, the whole of SW Australia is Anglo-Saxon. Faces, the architecture, even the farms look A-S.
With palms in the grounds brings you back to where you are.

The old prison. It wouldn't look out of place in Chester. And that brings me to place names. Perth and Scarborough on the same road sign?

Could be Brighton, yes.

and then there are these wonderful Victorian houses.
Fremantle Arts Centre. First opened in 1864 as the 'Convict Establishment Fremantle Lunatic Asylum and Invalid Depot.' Now it is much nicer place to enter. On the day we visited there was a meeting of ladies on the court yard lawn having afternoon tea. All were wearing floppy sun hats. I rest my case!!!! This is England's far south county. They are keeping the place well too.
