The Western Australia / Perth Metro Area
The Nyungar Aboriginal peoples knew Claremont as a place of plentiful spring water, good fishing and abundant waterfowl. The British felt almost at home - its gently undulating landscape mirrored in the clear waters of the Swan River.

In 1830, John Butler, recently arrived from Liverpool, speculated on its commercial qualities. It was at Freshwater Bay, halfway between Perth and Fremantle, that he set up his inn, attracting travellers on the road connecting the two anchor communities of the Swan River Colony.

From these humble beginnings Claremont quickly established itself into one of the most well recognized suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, whilst maintaining its village atmosphere.
