MERGA33: Shaping the Future of Mathematics Education

Welcome to Fremantle

Fremantle was established in 1829 as a port for the fledgling Swan River Colony and was the major city in Western Australia for much of its early history.

It was the first port of call in Australia for many migrants and visitors and today Fremantle sustains a rich mixture of cultures and nationalities.

Fremantle is a major tourist attraction for travellers from all parts of the world and attracts large numbers of residents and visitors on a daily basis. The city offers a unique blend of a lively multicultural yet relaxed lifestyle, and is a seven-day city.

Within easy walking and cycling distance, visitors can experience contemporary circus, fine crafts, original music and theatre, exciting galleries, museums, bookshops, buskers, and a wide variety of great restaurants. Along with maritime history and extensive architectural conservation, the Arts have become a central part of Fremantle life where visitors can discover the past and the present.

Fremantle was the venue for the very successful MERGA23 in July 2000. Come to Fremantle to make MERGA33 another successful and enjoyable conference.
