- Nigel SLightwater, UK5,133 contributionsWe found this on our way back from the WA Maritime museum and depicts a migrant man facing a dingo (wild dog).

- OldjackGreater Melbourne, Australia29,084 contributionsThe Jetty commemorates the local fishmen (past) who pioneered the industry in Freemantle and although you might overlook this monument if it was not for the two bronze replica's of fishermen on the jetty , it has 12 timber columns and the names of 608 fishermen.

- Dan LBunbury, Australia8,537 contributionsWhen in Fremantle, the Welcome Walls are a rite of pilgrimage for my wife so that she can see and reflect on the record of the ship and her parents arrival in Fremantle. The inscriptions are becoming more difficult to read, weathering of the earlier panels and direction of sunlight. An excellent concept and tribute to early arrivals in the State, now requiring maintenance and the etching refreshed.Written April 4, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,601 contributionsJohn Michael Gerovich (b, 1938) is famous for his spectacular leap over Ray French. However, there is much more to his career than one mark. Gerovich played 221 games in the Western Australin Football League (WAFL) for South Fremantle between 1955 and 1969. In an era when interstate contests aroused passions, he played 19 games for Wesrern Australia. He was selected as an All-Australian in 1956. He missed out on a flag at the beginning and end of his career. Fellow full forward, the journalist Austin Robertson, described Gerovich as "football's human astronaut." Gerovich was inducted into the WA Football Hall of Fame in 2004.Written June 25, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- OldjackGreater Melbourne, Australia29,084 contributionsBella is a healthy lass in a bikini and sits on a bench beside Bather's Beach but sadly the original Bella went missing (stolen) and this is a replacement with enhanced facial features. An interesting addition to the beach.Written February 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dan LBunbury, Australia8,537 contributionsThis sculpture still stands in situ, a poignant reminder of the children shipped to Australia purportedly for a better life. Many did succeed despite the hardships and forged successful lives in their adopted country. Unfortunately there are significant numbers who were treated abysmally by their supposed protectors and who were sent to Australia by various authorities since identified as participants in a web of lies.Written April 4, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,601 contributionsThis impressive statue overlooks the Fremantle Harbour, which was the brainchild of Irish-born civil engineer CY O'Connor. Charles Yelverton O'Connor (1843-1902) created the Goldfields Water Pipeline, and responsible for the laying of the Western Australian railways. O'Connor has achieved legendary status in Australia's Western Third.Written August 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bozeman-DublinTrim, Ireland11,334 contributionsWe came upon this impressive fine statue of forner Prine Minister Curtin as we visited the Freemantle Information centre and Town Hall.
He has been given a position of great orominence and I must admit, its a very impressive tribute.Written August 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I also read that it's new location means it is now positioned as intended when sculpted in 2002.Written December 13, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It commemorates the death of Edwards, a member of the Waterside Workers' Federation, who was fatally wounded when struck on the head by a police baton as he was attempting to assist Union president William Renton.Written March 9, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
