FREO TODAY

Freo Today. 21 November 2024. The days are flying by. So fast we missed International Men’s Day on 19 November. And now it’s nearly Christmas and another new year. In the meantime, folk come and go to Wadjemup/Rotto, like our Shipping Correspondent Jean Hudson who sent this pic with a view across The Basin towards Bathurst Lighthouse and the very smart glam-camping area at Pinky’s. Here at the Shipping News, we like to think of it as West Walyalup!

Meryl Sweep Tops The Poll

in Streets of Freo
We were expecting Wally, but the vote was obviously stolen! In fact, Wally didn’t get a single vote. Probably because no one actually nominated him. However, these clever names were submitted and Meryl Sweep swept the street, as the final vote count shows - Meryl Sweep: 81 Sweeping Beauty: 35 Sweep Caroline: 16 Orlando Broom: 10 Bohemian Sweepsody: 2 All great names. Sweep Caroline. Like that! Meryl Sweep had hardly been named the winner when the watchful Ian Ker spied her sweeping by the old Mills & Wares biscuit factory in South Freo and snapped these snappy snaps. Thanks Ian.…
