In 2023, Fremantle Ports commissioned acclaimed Noongar artist Bradley Kickett to paint the Derbal Yerrigan (Swan River) and Derbal Nara (Cockburn Sound), which make up the modern Port of Fremantle. In Bradley’s unique and compelling abstract style (featured on this news article), the artwork captures the beauty of the river system, where Fremantle Ports operates today.
