25.01.2022 The harbourcam on top of Fremantle Ports' Signal Station on the Administration Building on Victoria Quay is working so have a look at the sparkling Inner Harbour today! The original camera was struck by lightning on 7 June and is still being fixed but we've put the Cantonment Hill harbourcam on our Signal Station tower. (Also, instead of Harbourcam 1 and Harbourcam 2 we've renamed them Victoria Quay and Cantonment Hill because that's where they are.) https://www.victoriaquay.com.au///victoria-quay-harbourcam

12.01.2022 #flashbackfriday to a very historic visit to Fremantle in May 1927- Following this week's announcement that Gage Roads Brewing Co will be redeveloping A Shed on... Victoria Quay, we have a look at some of A Shed's history. The British Battlecruiser HMS Renown enters port, berthing alongside the new A and B Sheds Victoria Quay. On board were the Duke and Duchess of York, (the future King George V1 and Queen Elizabeth), who were on their homeward journey to Britain following their Australasian tour. A highlight of their visit to Australia was officiating at the opening of new Parliament House in Canberra. Their visit to Australia created huge public interest at the time. It was reported when they sailed into Sydney Harbour, they attracted Australia’s first gathering of more than one million people. The photos show the royal couple being met on arrival by officials, including the Mayor of Fremantle and a huge crowd on the quayside and along roadway exiting the wharf. The two images take from the aeroplane are possibly the earliest aerials taken of Fremantle Harbour. A and B Berths had, at the time, been recently reconstructed (1925/26) with the two new much larger A & B sheds being built. The sheds replaced two smaller buildings previously utilised by the Public Works Department during the construction of the harbour. These smaller sheds catered for the North-West Coastal trade. Both sheds were relocated to the wharf area in 1903/04. The new Sheds and surrounding wharf area had the capacity to accommodate larger vessels and handle a greater tonnage of general cargo. A Shed, as initially constructed, had quite a unique roof profile with a dormer roof at the eastern end and a curved roof line following the contour of the railway line at the western end. Both features were removed in later years Before the advent of containers, the cargo transit sheds facilitated the handling of cargo through discharge/load and receival/delivery operations. Cargo was transported to and from the wharf by rail or truck and in the early days, horse and cart. A heritage feature of both sheds today is the interior shed office which was utilised by the Shed Supervisor, Wharf Foremen, Manifest Clerk and HM Customs. Tally clerks counted goods discharged/loaded, the tally sheets were then reconciled to the shipping manifests.

11.01.2022 If you're catching a ferry at the B Shed ferry terminal then allow a bit more time for the drop-off. The drop-off parking area near the wharf is closed due to works but there are 15-minute drop-off bays in front of E Shed.
