PLENTY TO DO IN FREO ON THE WEEKEND

No matter what all the knockers say about our city, it is hardly ever boring in Fremantle, so get out of the house and join in some of the fun. Yes, the footy derby is on between the Dockers and West Coast on Sunday afternoon, but that does not mean you can’t come to the Growers Green super markets on Sunday morning. It is a huge one on the first Sunday of each month, so not only fruit, vegies, breads, meat, fish but also art and craft and fashion. It’s at the South Freo Senior High School from 8 am till midday.

Then join the unions and all workers for the big May Day parade at noon through the inner city, enjoy live music and have something to eat from the many food stalls. It’s all happening on the Esplanade from 12-4 but coffee and food will be available earlier than that.

I had a quick preview of some of the works of the photographic RAW exhibition at Greg James Sculpture Studio and Gallery at J Shed and it is quite impressive, so come and have a look and support the students of photographer Peter Zuvela. Opening is tomorrow, Saturday 5-7 pm. J Shed is at Fleet Street on Bathers Beach. Plenty of free parking at TAFE.

There is also a photographic exhibition about the Sri Lankan genocide at Victoria Hall.
