Channel: Royal Australian Navy

HMAS Gascoyne was granted Freedom of Entry to the town of Exmouth, Western Australia. The ship's company then conducted a parade through the streets to reinforce the close relationship the Huon Class Minehunter has with the town and WA's Gascoyne region.

It's been close to 20 years since HMAS Gascoyne conducted a port visit to Exmouth and the ship's company was invited to an official reception at the Shire of Exmouth offices. The crew later participated in a number of community events, including a touch football match against a local team.
