Fenians, Fremantle, & Freedom
From their website:
Fenians, Fremantle, and Freedom Inc. is a not for profit community group formed to remember and commemorate the Irish Fenian political prisoners transported to Western Australia in 1868.
On board the Hougoumont, the last convict ship to Australia, these 62 Fenians wrote journals and diaries, held regular concerts and produced a newspaper of seven editions – The Wild Goose.
Our volunteer organisation commemorates the Fenians and significant anniversaries of this story through festivals, lectures, music and other cultural events.
We welcome involvement from descendants of the Fenians and all those interested in this story.
