3 TUESDAY 9 DECEMBER LADIES LUNCH The sun was shining as almost 80 ladies enjoyed a fabulous, fun filled end of year Ladies Lunch on the boats celebrating Christmas while cruising our beautiful Swan River. Special thanks go out to the boat owners who allowed us to use their boats on the day. As always the ladies were extremely generous with their gift giving in support of the K-Mart Wishing Tree Appeal. We would like to thank all who help make our monthly Ladies Lunches a success. We will be having a break in January with our next one set for Tuesday 10 February. We hope you can join us in the new year!

FREMANTLE RAIL BRIDGE - SCAFFOLDING REMOVAL The Fremantle Rail Bridge sleeper replacement, technically known as transoms, is completed. Scaffolding removal impacts From January 17, 2015 scaffolding around the bridge, which allowed work to be safely completed, will be removed. For approximately four weeks while this scaffolding is being removed, a temporary scaffold will be in place and reduce the clearance under the bridge up to 1.2m from 8.1m to 6.9m. The removal will take place during normal construction hours and remove a maximum span of 2.5m at a time. Port access impacts As the bridge clearance will be 6.9m during this work, all high vehicles accessing the Fremantle Port and boat users travelling under the bridge should take this reduction into consideration. For more information visit the PTA website. Project projects@pta.wa.gov.au Project information:
