City of Fremantle
Coastal Charm
The City of Fremantle acknowledges the Whadjuk people as the traditional owners of the greater Walyalup area and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still important to the living Whadjuk people today. And respect the Whadjuk people’s spiritual relationship with their country.
We pay our respect to Elders past, present and future.
The City of Fremantle is one of an increasing number of local communities who are working together to acknowledge previously untold or unrecognised parts of their local histories in relation to Australia’s relationship and history with First Nations people.
We are seeking stories from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian people about difficult truths and reimagined futures to be included as a part of our upcoming Backyard Truth-Telling events across May 2026.
These are done in Centre for Stories’ Backstories Festival style, a multi-sited storytelling program that brings truth telling into the outdoor spaces and backyards of Walyalup residents to provide an opportunity for local communities to come together to connect, learn and listen to storytellers share their lived experiences, in their own voices, and in their own way.
If you’d like to have a yarn with us about the program, or if you’d like some help filling out the form below, please feel free to contact the Centre for Stories at info@centreforstories.com or call (08) 9328 1443.
