The City of Fremantle advises that a recreational vessel has damaged the swimming enclosure at Bathers Beach. The condition of the barrier is currently unknown and it may be compromised.

Divers will today assess damage to the barrier and will advise a timeline for any repairs in due course.

As a reminder, recreational vessels are not permitted inside the swimming enclosure. Skippers are urged to keep a safe distance from the barrier, which is clearly marked with buoys.

Started today celebrating people like PipSlaughter who have partnered with City of Fremantle to help make Griffiths Park (in Hilton) a glyphosate free area by hand-weeding the park 52 weeks of every year.

Huge shout out to all of the volunteers, dog walkers, and neighbours who make this possible - and a special thanks to Maxine Tomlin who continues to lead these efforts.

Afterwards, I joined with the FOCH volunteer organisation for revegetation of Clontarf Hill to remove a proliferation of “italian parsley” that had just began to produce seeds and was taking over the native vegetation.

It’s exciting for our Port City to be re-connected once again.

Much thanks to the bridge project team, all of the workers who put in the hard yards to deliver this months ahead of schedule, and everyone who joined in the first crossing celebrations 💪

No doubt there will be (and already are) countless images of the Walyalup bridge opening today and it was a joyous occasion.

What struck me the most was this ceremony on Cantonment Hill I literally stumbled into when I went to change out of my suit.

Moving. Grounding. Connected to place.

Thank you for letting me be a part of it.

(More bridge photos coming later)

Some great photos from Sunday’s Blessing of the Fleet. 🎆

I got caught on the hop yesterday. Mr Punctual almost missed taking photos of the Blessing of the Fleet, as the procession was a bit earlier than in previous years. When I walked with a tall ladder…
