The port, which has steadily grown from a humble trading post, is now the beating heart of Western Australia’s economy. Fremantle’s unique character is captured by its landscape, heritage architecture, music, arts, culture, festivals, retail stores, markets, cafés and restaurants, which all contribute to its village-style atmosphere OUR PROUD HISTORY Fremantle’s most important assets are its heritage and its people of diverse backgrounds and cultures. Its irresistible character is inviting and rich in history. Fremantle is an important place for Aboriginal people and lies within the Aboriginal cultural region of Beeliar. Its Nyoongar name is Walyalup (the place of walyo) and its local people are known as the Whadjuk people. To the local Whadjuk people, whose heritage dates back tens of thousands of years, Fremantle is a place of ceremonies, significant cultural practices and trading.

Collectively known as the Australian Convict Sites these places tell the story of the colonisation of Australia and the building of a nation. Fremantle Prison is Western Australia’s most important historical site. As a World Heritage Site, Fremantle Prison is recognised as having the same level of cultural significance as other iconic sites such as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Wall of China, or the Historic Centre of Rome. For 136 years between 1855 and 1991 Fremantle Prison was continuously occupied by prisoners. Convicts built the Prison between 1851 and 1859. Initially called the Convict Establishment, Fremantle Prison held male prisoners of the British Government transported to Western Australia. After 1886 Fremantle Prison became the colony’s main place of incarceration for men, women and juveniles. Fremantle Prison itself was finally decommissioned in November 1991 when its male prisoners were transferred to the new maximum security prison at Casuarina. Fremantle Prison was a brutal place of violent punishments such as floggings and hangings.

  • One Day in Fremantle: TV Representation of This Alternative to Australia Day
    Coolabah, No. 24&25, 2018, ISSN 1988-5946, Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians i Transnacionals / Observatory: Australian and Transnational Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona One Day in Fremantle: TV representation of this alternative to Australia Day Shaphan Cox Curtin University [email protected] Thor Kerr Curtin University [email protected] Copyright©2018 Shaphan Cox & Thor Kerr. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged, in accordance with our Creative Commons Licence. Abstract: A 2016 decision by the City of Fremantle in Western Australia to change its date of national celebration generated a televised controversy about the municipal observance of Australia Day. Beneath this controversy, Fremantle’s decision to change the date reflects a long ongoing struggle over the colonization of country belonging to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This struggle can be traced back to the landing of the First Fleet of British settlers in Cadigal, Eora, country (Sydney) on 26 January 1788. This paper analyses the context of Fremantle’s decision and considers how television and current affairs reported it to audiences across Australia. Twenty-eight news and current affairs video recordings broadcast between 25 August 2016 and 29 January 2018 by ABC, Nine, NITV, Seven and SBS networks were analysed. Key themes emerging from this study are discussed, including: the emptiness and trouble with Australia Day representation; diversion through division and false economy; and, from genocide to solidarity with Aboriginal leadership. Finally, this paper offers an opportunity for understanding how Australian community has been imagined and how community in Australia could be imagined.

Mayor’s foreword Although Fremantle is now a modern and thriving city, its current form has evolved over time; beginning with tens of thousands of years of aboriginal history through to the significant and rapid changes that followed European colonisation in 1829, a gold rush, two world wars and in more recent times a major demographic shift as a consequence of the mechanisation of port operations. That evolution is continuing with the City of Fremantle’s current focus on revitalising the Fremantle city centre by attracting more people to live, work, shop and be entertained.
