John Curtin Statue Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia
By Shaydex on 29-Jan-16. Waypoint GA8110

Having a wander around Freo before heading back home tomorrow.

Been a while since I last GCA-ed. Now working in Freo, so wander past this guy most days. Paused this morning for a quick snap. TFTV

Spent the morning in Fremantle after caches and this was on the list to do.

Here in Freo today for the Lego Builds tour

Out and about caching and taking photos for the day. House sitting over here in this beautiful state. Always a great way to explore areas. Lovin' life, coffees and caches, waymarks and photos, taking the roads less travelled, letting my GPS be my guide. Does it get any better than travelling this great land of ours?

What a beautiful area to take a stroll (and quite a few photos). - After having my car broken into and my camera stolen, I have to rely on my phone now for pics

Thanks for the Cache Shaydex. Appreciate you highlighting this area and bringing me here.

Touring around Freo with the geo-sons and was passing the area and was able to stop and claim the find here.

Walked into the city and posed beside the JC statue for frazeydaze to take the pic. TFTVC.

Out with oldmorty doing a bit of shopping. We've walked by this figure every time we've visited Freo and only now realised it was a geocaching Australia virtual. Thanks to the CO.

Must say I always been a fan of PM John Curtin for his pivotal role during tough times in our coountry's history and was stoked to come to central Fremantle to nab this memorial cache. Came over from east on a work trip an afternoon early for a GCA spree in the Fremantle and port area. This was a cracker, thankyou Shaydex!

Found in a walk around Frenantle this morning. Great to see this statue after working at John Curtin School Medical Resesrch in Canberra. A great man. TFTC

The man himself

Out for a night in Freo with hubby trying to grab a few of the locationless for the summer scav hunt and thought we'd grab a couple of virtuals whilst out here.

Extra points for the climb??

Out and about and trialling the new Geocube GCA functionality.
A quick photo here before the crowds

A nice early morning in Freo

I was visiting on the Ovation of the Seas and the shulle bus had dropped us on just down the other end of the mall so I strolled over and took a picture of the famous bloke.

With an earlier than expected finish to today's work, we mosied down to Freo for a look around. That brought me to this one and despite the barricading currently around the ex-PM, I was able to get my shot at 15:00.

Thanks Shaydex.

I did try to upload a picture of him for the cache description however it didn't work for me.

If anyone has better coordinates and wants to offer them, go for it. The statue is outside near the Visitor Centre
