Caffeine Chaos Over South Freo

Just as the first blush of dawn kissed the Indian Ocean at South Beach, not far from the South Beach Cafe, the drones emerged — a swarm of buzzing automatons weaving through the roads and laneways of South Fremantle, each clutching a paper cup - some from Paper Cup on Hampton Road - brimming with someone’s lifeline. They danced above the sleepy streets, dodging seagulls on McLaren and Orient, skimming rooftops near Nelson, zipping through alfresco setups along South Terrace where groggy regulars, like those at Kerfuffle, waited. But efficiency had its limits. A rogue drone clipped the side mirror…

Rarely a Dull Moment – City Plan Making a Big Splash, Manjaree and Beyond, Soon We’ll Know How Many Holes it Takes to Fill the Victoria Hall

Council night. 28 May 2025. Time for home viewers to rug up and switch on the livestream for this Ordinary Council Meeting with a little winter warmer, if you fancy.

Allegations of defamation by the Mayor towards the Fremantle Society and threats of…
