The borer Euwallacea whitfordiodendrus, credited with causing millions of dollars of damage to orchards and forests overseas, was found in a box elder maple tree in Dalgety Street after keen gardener Joanne Taggart noticed unusual insect damage in some branches brought down by a storm. Using the WA agricultural department’s MyPestGuide app on her phone, Ms Taggart sent photographs and expected a response after a few weeks, as per normal when she snapped an interesting bug. Tiny “Almost immediately, I got a phone call,” a surprised Ms Taggart said. “They sent someone pretty much straight away.” After the officer took away some samples, the department then sent down a team including an expert who checked “every little crevice and every little place” before triumphantly holding up one of the tiny borers. The department will now pay to have the tree removed right down to its roots, while the remnants of another that died last year are also being dug up. “I planted both of these trees nearly 40 years ago, so I’m very • Vigilant gardener Joanne Taggart helped alert authorities to Australia’s first shot hole borer infestation, but heartbroken to be losing them,” it came at a great cost; she’ll have no backyard shade after the attack on her 40-year-old elder maples, and Ms Taggart said.

Fremantle is blessed Our City is blessed with significant tourist infrastructure surrounding Port, Rail, Bus, Road and River transport. Few Cities in Western Australia can match our offering when supported by our committed hospitality providers, retailers, small business owners and our creative artists working with Council to deliver significant events. Fremantle in the past has drawn thousands of people into the city to celebrate events which has sustained our economy and provided much needed jobs. Under my leadership Fremantle will be the Festival City of Australia. We will attract and welcome thousands of local, national and post covid, international tourists to these events. The City of Festivals In my first two years of office, we will develop a Festival Strategy to identify what is unique to Fremantle and what quirky, cutting-edge festivals will be attracted to our City. We will begin work immediately with the establishment of a City of Festivals Board to be the engine room of collaboration between state government, business, hospitality, retailers, events professionals, community, the artists, innovators, and the talented entrepreneurs to get this City moving to better times. Everyone will have skin in the game to make the City of Festivals work. The ratepayers will benefit from the positive cash flow and the Council will have more to spend on basic services. Our festival future will reinvigorate Fremantle and this energy will attract more people to live, work and enjoy our beautiful heritage City. Festival already delivered In October 2020 I created with a small band of locals and with council’s help the Festival of Lights which brought over 20,000 people to South Fremantle. The best event since “Highway to Hell” was the feedback. The event was delivered with very limited resources. Just image what we can achieve with a Fremantle wide vision that will deliver multiple festivals over a year. I am the Mayor for the people and by the people. Leadership is not only about making tough decisions but also about listening and keeping an open mind. I will collaborate with key stakeholders and the community for this vision to become a reality from day one. A vote for Vujcic for Mayor is a vote for change and moving our city forward to a bright future.

  • Leviathan Mr Stirling Tuckey Tells of the Era of “Leviathan”, a Cargo Vessel That Worked Between Fremantle and Mandurah
    Leviathan Mr Stirling Tuckey tells of the era of “Leviathan”, a cargo vessel that worked between Fremantle and Mandurah. Black Bess There would be only a handful of people in the township of Mandurah today who would remember the Leviathan. Most of them would remember her as “Black Bess” or just plain Wilson’s boat, but she and her builder deserve to take a place in the early history of Mandurah for it was the venture of an old man, helped by his two sons, who worked hard for many long hours, days, months and even years, barely existing at times for lack of money or even food, to accomplish a purpose. This was to provide for Mandurah a seagoing vessel to carry cargo to and from Fremantle and help put Mandurah on the map. Well do I remember the day when she was launched! The chocks were knocked from beneath her hull and with quite some persuasion she slid down into the creek barely deep enough for her to float. From the “big bridge” she looked immense. She must have been the biggest ship ever to be within the Mandurah bar. 3 PINJARRA Road Mandurah, Western Australia | T: (08) 9550 3681 | E: [email protected] Leviathan Continued Fremantle to Mandurah Before the Great War the only means of transport between Fremantle and Mandurah was by sea (cargo only) or rail to Pinjarra and then by horse and coach or some other form of horse transport to the township. The road to Fremantle was for the greater part a track through the sand, except for patches of stony outcrop for miles north of Mandurah.
