Cantonment Hill

Cantonment Hill is a limestone hill and bushland reserve in Fremantle, Western Australia, overlooking Fremantle Harbour and the Indian Ocean. Managed by the City of Fremantle, it contains the historic Fremantle Signal Station, former naval and military installations, and remnant coastal bushland. The hill offers panoramic views, walking trails and heritage interpretation, and is significant for its Whadjuk Noongar heritage as Dwerda Weeardinup and its continuous use as a signalling and defence site since the 19th century.

Visitors can expect a small urban bushland reserve on a hilltop with sealed and natural walking trails, lookout points with panoramic views over Fremantle, the port, Rottnest Island and the Indian Ocean, and heritage buildings including the restored Fremantle Signal Station and former naval store. The site features interpretive signage, remnant coastal vegetation, open lawns and quiet bushland areas for walking, sightseeing and photography.
