There's a new #localHistory group being set up in #Fremantle: the Friends of the Fremantle History Centre Group. No website yet, I think.

The last of the Stan Reilly Centre trees are being removed today. #Fremantle

I'm at the Beaconsfield tavern, listening to a FHS talk by Allan Graham about his upcoming 3-volume chronicle of #Fremantle's pubs and hotels.

It seems that the indicator boards on the #Fremantle line no longer say if the next train is for the airport or not. It's no doubt some ploy to make the commuters behave in a certain way -- but it's annoying because changing lines at Daglish or Shenton Park is easier than at Perth because they're on the same platform rather than up a thing and down.

Sunrise in #Fremantle.

I'm at the #Fremantle History Society AGM, in https://wikidata.org/wiki/Q14721122 #Perth

There's a #WikiClubWest meetup this afternoon in #Fremantle. We're going to do more work on documenting (and using) the digitisation equipment, and plan for
#Wikimania.

Ah, that did it. Job done. No more leak it seems like.

(This was in Short Street, #Fremantle — unfortunately not next door in Leake Street.)

Limestone and moss in #Fremantle. These don't get mapped, but are part of why I like ambling about with a GPS.

#Fremantle now has it's own #EqualStreetNames map! https://fremantle.equalstreetnames.org/

There's still lots of work to do, but it's great to have a visual way of tracking progress.

Out of 518 streets, 32 are named after a person, and 4 of these are female. Most data is still missing of course.

We're scanning photos of the 1926 #Fremantle railway bridge flood damage (with the @wm_au scanner). Trying to come up with a good workflow of scanning, getting the files onto Commons, so that we can collaborate on the labelling (i.e. do as little as possible before upload, so three people can work at once). https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WikiClubWest_digitisation_kit.jpg #digitization

89% of the streets in #Fremantle are named after men… but the data is utterly incomplete! (Only 38 of 479 done.) So ignore that number, and I'll carry on figuring out names and people and places and IDs. #Wikidata #OpenStreetMap

@Doudouosm Started the process for adding #Fremantle: https://github.com/EqualStreetNames/equalstreetnames/issues/707

Looks like the demolition for the new #Fremantle bridge has begun. This is where there used to be a small office building.

The new affordable housing units in North #Fremantle look pretty interesting. Their verandahs are roofed with solar panels (at least, it looks like the actual roof is the panels, with no other roof under them).

I've had a good morning at the #Fremantle local history centre. Am going through their lists of streets and trying to find citations for all facts (mostly they're just referenced to an entire newspaper, or nothing at all). My knowledge of random small churches from the early 20th century is not great. Not sure I want it to be, but at least I now have another photography scavenger category.

In a new cafe in #Fremantle. Seems massively popular, but maybe that's just because it's in this corner of town where there aren't many others. The coffee is great, so far. I put the place on #OpenStreetMap a few days ago when I was walking past, but I now think I got the name wrong.

It seems a bit of trend with cafes to have various suppliers' names and logos be more prominent than their own, and also to have names that don't at first glance look like names ('The Closed Cafe' isn't far off).

Elizabeth's bookshop through the rain from the warmth of Gino's. #Fremantle

I name all my servers after beers that are brewed in #Fremantle. I had to find a new name this week, and so had to make sure I still liked the #beer. It's named after Duyfken, but I can't find out if they mean the original or the replica. The bar person was confused enough about my story about why they needed to find a different beermat for me. #tegestology

Fremantle History Society talk, May 30th, 5PM, Fremantle Library: Deborah Hindley talking about her family's history in #Fremantle.
