There’s no HMAS Freo, but there is HMAS Perth – and she’s on the move

in Shipping & Sailing
The Anzac class frigate HMAS Perth has just departed Fleet Base West on Garden Island to commence the Australian Defence Force’s fifth Regional Presence Deployment of 2026.

A story of conquest and struggle and triumph and tragedy and as I write this now I can see a lone West Coast Eagles supporter in front of me – narrow of shoulder, hidden by a hoodie, trying to sit unnoticed in a sea of marauding Freo fans. What must it be like for him tonight. To stare miserable defeat in the face again. Searching this battlefield where once, hoardes of blonde, lotus flower eating, berserkers ran…
