1926 SOME GOOSE CLUB! The Fremantle Workers' Club have for some years conducted a goose club each member of which pays in one shilling per week, and the goods are distributed at Christmas time. This year over £830 worth was allotted, consisting of hams (£325), turkeys, geese, ducks, fowls, wine, beer, etc. The poultry bill came to over £200. Through the kindness of Mr. Tom Newbold, the committee were able to use his fine markets with adequate poultry runs and store for the distribution. (reference)

1934 OVER THE BRIDGE, NORTH FREMANTLE NOTES (By "Fagan") North Fremantleites, and indeed all regular users of the traffic bridge, will miss the old familiar landmark— although the river lapped its sides at high tide—that has stood so long on the north side of the river close to the traffic bridge. This was a large boat, or punt, that had been fitted apparently for habitation, as there were windows fitted in the raised walls from the deck and in the windows there were curtains which suggested that some happy bachelor, desiring peace and quietness together with a life on the ocean wave, had combined the lot while, still on a solid foundation, for the boat was sunk hard and fast on the river bank. And now it is no more. Tom Newbold bought it and in a couple of hours it was demolished and taken to Fremantle. (reference)
