FREO TODAY

Freo Today. 3 May 2024. Pacific Explorer, the P&O cruise ship currently homeported in Freo, departed Fremantle last evening on yet another short cruise out of Freo and returns Sunday. Then she departs again Sunday night. The guests are no doubt having oodles of fun at sea, especially with the dolphins turning on the entertainment on the starboard side of the bow – or are they port side? Great get by Deanna Shanahan of the famous Instagram duo @flotsamandjetsam6162

Train noise a ‘cost of doing business’ – Letter to the Editor

in Shipping News
Dear Editor, I have a couple of comments about the recent article about the noise and other annoyances caused by the container trains in Fremantle. If you live in central Fremantle, as I do, then the noise made by the port activities are a "cost of doing business". The port has been in operation for longer than anyone currently living near it has been alive, so no-one can claim to be surprised by it. When we bought our apartment in Beach Street a couple of years ago we had to sign a statement acknowledging that there was noise from the…

After the Game v Western Bulldogs, Rd 7 2024 – With Snaps Truly

in Life, Law & Culture
Dear friends, Firstly. What’s wrong? In recent days you’ve seemed testy and ill at ease. And I cannot for the life of me work out why; although I must admit I wasn’t quite myself last weekend. A strange and sudden foreboding enveloped me and I apparently slipped into the unconscious world of the amnesiac. Even today I have no recollection of the events that may, or may not, have unfolded over those two days. I remember nothing at all. Was I pleasant company? Did I behave well? I can tell you though, that as of today, I am quite recovered…
