Freo Today. 12 June 2024. Just when you thought the rain was here to stay, up pops yet another glorious Fremantle sunset. Last night, from East Fremantle across the Derbarl Yerrigan towards North Freo. Spectacular!

Funding Research into Low Survival Rate Cancers

in Life, Law & Culture
Medical research in Australia is wide-ranging and covers the numerous health issues facing our society. There are hundreds of individual research groups working in universities, hospitals and various specialised research institutions (such as The Perron institute in WA) involving many thousands of staff with a broad range of interests and skills. Of course, financial support is critical for the promotion and maintenance of these projects. To this end the Turnbull Coalition Government established the Medical Research Future Fund or MRFF in 2015, as a longterm investment supporting Australian health and medical research. In 2023 the fund had grown to $22…

After The Game v Melbourne Rd 12, 2024 – With Snaps Truly

in Life, Law & Culture
May I not be haunted by the words. But early last week, two of them were whispered to me from a voice within the Freo High Command, after that great come from behind draw with Collingwood. “We’re good,” said the man who should know. He does not say them lightly. “We’re good.” (Actually, he didn’t repeat it. I have done so for effect.) At Tio Traeger Park in Alice, Freo would take on Melbourne who have played at this great ground for a decade. And in the opening five minutes we deferred to that home deck advantage by applying no…

Places I Love – Swimming with Whale Sharks at Ningaloo

in Life, Law & Culture
If swimming with whale sharks isn’t on your bucket list, then it should be! I recently had an amazing wildlife encounter when I swam with whale sharks at Ningaloo Marine Park. Ningaloo Marine Park lies off the North West Cape of Western Australia - it’s a 13-hour drive or a 2-hour flight from Freo. Ningaloo Reef is the longest fringed coral reef in Australia, stretching 300km along the coast, from the North West Cape to Red Bluff. The untouched coral reef systems are teaming with marine life. The reef is UNESCO World Heritage listed and was established as a Marine…
