Hamilton Hill Hamilton Hill is a suburb to the south of Fremantle which occupies quite a large parcel of land. One of the earliest developments in the area was Captain George Robb's Farm by his agent Mr Sydney Smith. In 1830 Smith gave his address as Hamilton Hill, the named Hamilton being derived from a Capetown shipping company which owned the vessel Leda, which brought both Robb and Smith to W.A. Robb is remembered by Robb's Jetty, slightly to the south |
