Meat and Potatoes

Worst of Perth Classic

I don’t know if these places are still there in South Fremantle. Holiday homes sort of between The Potato Marketing Board and Robb’s Jetty abbatoir. I took this in I think around 1985. An unlikely holiday destination. If they are still there, let me know. The abbatoir is long closed right?

Note: They look far far better now than in 1985. With the abattoir closed, maybe worth a holiday, if cancun booked up.

    Sadly I can confirm, LA, that they are still there. You can view them heading south down Hampton Road past the abandoned pub on the other side.

    And, yes, the abbatoir is long closed. Which probably explains the pub…

    Its now called “Fremantle Village” and the pub is the Newmarket which is going to be converted into 6 units and is in the process of being heritage listed.

    Hey, looks a lot better than it did when I was there decades ago.
