Child Migrant Memorial in Fremantle

The establishment of a memorial to honour former child migrants who were sent to Western Australia from the UK and Malta is moving closer to reality with the approval of a site at the Fremantle History Museum on land overlooking the Wharf.

The Fremantle History Museum, on the corner of Ord and Finnerty Streets, was built by convicts in the 1860s and is reputedly one of Fremantle’s most significant landmarks.

The museum includes major displays that showcase the social history and heritage of Fremantle and the rest of Western Australia—a fitting context for the Child Migrant Memorial.

Now that the site has been decided, the WA Department for Community Development intends to organise a meeting of former Child Migrants to plan the next stage of bringing the memorial into being.
