Cantonment Hill, Heritage site and lookout point in Fremantle, Australia.

Cantonment Hill rises above Fremantle Port, offering views across the Swan River and containing the last mainland stand of Rottnest Island pine.

The Artillery Barracks, constructed between 1910 and 1913, served the Royal Australian Garrison Artillery before becoming a rehabilitation hospital during World War I.

The Whadjuk Noongar people name this location Dweerdanup, meaning Place of Dingo Spirit, and used the site for camping and storytelling over thousands of years.

The Naval Store building, constructed in the 1930s, underwent recent renovations to create community spaces, including plans for a café and accessibility improvements.

Indigenous families used the hill to communicate through fire signals with relatives imprisoned on Rottnest Island during the colonial period.
