We wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land we live and work on, the Whadjuk people. We wish to acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region. Fremantle is also an important Noongar site. The Whadjuk Noongar name for the area is Walyalup, which translates to “place of tears”. Traditionally, the deceased would be buried in the soft sand dunes with the spirit crossing the ocean to Rottnest Island, or Wadjemup, which translates to “place across the water where spirits go”.
