Freo: A Portrait of the Port City by Stan Gervas

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Mark on top foredge, otherwise this book is in very good condition. Signed by author.

Freo is a companion book to The Way We Were: Perth in the 1930's. This book encompasses all the colourful events, and dramatic changes that have occurred in the port's evolution. It's sparse austerity, its glory days of the goldrush, the two wars and the depression years, post-war life in Fremantle, the revolution in shipping and the belated recognition of Fremantle heritage and the need to preserve it.
