Bigfoot v’s Yeti: A Love Story

in Life, Law & Culture
Some of the greatest books of all time tell stories of star-crossed people and forces – think of Romeo and Juliet, War and Peace, Pride and Prejudice and Hons and Rebels. If all of these seem just a little out of reach, James Foley’s latest picture book for children, Bigfoot v’s Yeti may be just the story for you, and especially for your kids and grandkids. Like the other great books listed here, Bigfoot v’s Yeti is a story for our times; hence the inscription at the front ‘for the peacemakers’. And it is the creation of one of Fremantle’s…

Beautiful Bolette Arrives in Freo

in Shipping News
The smallish but perfectly formed Bolette made an elegant entrance in Fremantle’s inner harbour just before 6 am this morning. She’s on a 87 day cruise out of Liverpool, England that ends before long in Cape Town, South Africa. Her last port of call was Albany, her next Port Louis, Mauritius. The early morning light helped to show off Bolette's beautiful lines as she made her entrance in Fremantle. Some local ship spotters may remember her from an earlier life. Here she is arriving in Freo just over 7 years ago…

Here’s the affected area - As you’ll see, it covers an area from Norfolk Street in the north, to the end of Walker Street in the south, and from the sea in the west nearly to Hampton Road in the east. However, you won’t see any actual works on or under the ground for some time to come, indeed not until around 2027, and when the works do commence it’ll take around 3 years, into 2030, to complete. So don’t hold…
