FREO TODAY
Freo Today. 27 August 2026. Only Mad Dogs and Englishmen, and Freo resident John Hartley, would have gone down to the Port in the blinding rain yesterday to see what they could see. And what a wonderfully shrouded maritime scene did John see. Here’s his brilliant shot of a vessel and tug making their way into Port. If you know which vessel and tug, do share! Thanks John. Great pic.
