Wikipedia:Meetup/Perth/58

May 2019. Please note that the proposed Mandurah meetup will be changed to a later date.

Modified proposal

New proposal is for a meetup in Fremantle, with either walking or driving to adjacent features and a Fremantle Bridges Task Force project to improve and document previous and current bridges - at a Freopedia page...

The reason for the change in venue is the soon to be removed Fremantle road bridge. See $230 million for the Fremantle Traffic Bridge replacement project.

Current state of english wikipedia articles mention of the bridges

• Fremantle Railway Bridge (current/new and old from archival photos)
• Queen Victoria Street, Fremantle#Crossing_the_Swan_River - would be great to break out from that constraint
• Fremantle Harbour has nothing about the bridges that defined the eastern end
• There appears to be nothing about Stirling Bridge, Fremantle (unless it is hiding somewhere)
• Swan River (Western Australia)#Bridges

Proposed/hoped for outcomes

• Article and photographs of Stirling Bridge
• Article and archival retrievals of original railway bridge
• Updated article about current railway bridge
• Article improvement of about to be demolised road bridge
• Article and archival retrievals of the original road bridge
• Investigation of the alledged rope haulage across the river
• Possible photographs of ferries and regular passers by under the bridge(s)
