Fremantle Excursion Friday 17th July 2026
Once again, our little group of 19 Probians were blessed with fine weather for our train trip to Elizabeth Quay and a lovely cruise down the Swan River to Fremantle. It wasn’t till we arrived at the bus terminal in Fremantle to catch the bus to Murdoch Station that the heavens finally delivered on the promised cold front that kept 3 of our paid-up participants snug up in their respective beds this morning.
The river cruise was a new experience for many and we all learnt something new from the captain’s commentary ie that the Narrows Bridge was once the longest concrete bridge in the world. A real first for the little-known capital city of WA!
The hour and a half journey from the Barrack St Jetty to E-Shed market provided an excellent view of how some of the “other half” live in their riverside mansions. We consoled ourselves by reflecting on how unhappy/unwell/unfulfilled they might all be, while we maybe less financially well off are all VERY happy, healthy and fulfilled even though we don’t wake up every morning to those magnificent views.
We can highly recommend the beer, food and service at the popular Gage Roads Brewery. We had no trouble finding a couple of tables together. Thank you to our resident photographer, Jenny, for capturing the spirit of the day. And once again, thanks to Di for organising all the bookings and timetables. It’s always a pleasure to get out and do something different with like-minded people.
