Fremantle City
Fremantle is a city located within the Perth metropolitan area on Australia's western coast, at the mouth of the Swan River.
The city is named after Charles Howe Fremantle, and the name is almost universally pronounced as 'FREE-mantle', not 'Fre-MAN-tel' as one might erroneously assume.
There are some consistent exceptions to this, however; notably the suburbs and football clubs South Fremantle and East Fremantle; the Western Australian vernacular diminutive for Fremantle is 'Freo' (FREE-oh). |
