Fremantle Society

Wikipedia has an article about Fremantle Society.

You may wish to contribute to that article in preference to this one, so that your contributions may be of use to the greatest number of people.

Of course, anything that is not suitable for Wikipedia can be added here on Freopedia instead (within reason).

The Fremantle Society was established in 1972 and has since then sought to improve the quality of life in Fremantle and to protect the existing unique built and cultural heritage.

The Society can be contacted via email at info@fremantlesociety.org.au.
