Editorial on Fremantle Harbor Site and O Connor Views
The piece discusses Admiral Henderson's report and urges a thorough examination of Cockburn Sound and Owen's Anchorage as a future naval base. It cites C Y O’Connor and G S R Palmer, recalls Palmer’s 1912 Fremantle harbor stance, and argues for southward harbor expansion and reconsideration of Rous Head site.
