FREO TODAY

Freo Today. 15 February 2025. It doesn’t seem to matter how hard Bon Scott sings his heart out, or how often, Joe’s Fish Shack on Freo’s popular Fishing Boat Harbour just gets more and more derelict by the year. Which gets one wondering: Who is Joe, where is he, and why isn’t he doing something about this broken down structure on a prime Fremantle site?

It follows the moment Street couldn’t believe himself, the $180 million class action settlement over stolen Aboriginal wages in Western Australia in October just last year.
