About this audio guide
This guide to Fremantle Markets in Perth opens at three in the morning in the nineteen twenties, when growers pull up to the doors of a limestone hall opened in eighteen ninety-eight. It follows the promise made at that opening, the producers who kept coming, and what became of the building once the wholesale trade moved away. Look up at the roof and the timber columns as you listen.
