The Division of Fremantle is an Australian Electoral Division in Western Australia.
It was one of the original 75 divisions for the first federal election in 1901.
It is named for the city of Fremantle, which in turn is named for Captain Charles Fremantle.
Fremantle was captain of HMS Challenger, which brought the first settlers to Western Australia.
The Division includes the southern suburbs of Perth, Cockburn, Coolbellup, Palmyra, Fremantle and Rottnest Island.
The division originally included Perth's southwestern suburbs.
Boundary changes since 1949 have made it a very safe seat for the Australian Labor Party.
Many senior Labor members have held Fremantle.
The most famous was John Curtin, Prime Minister of Australia from 1941 to 1945.Others were Kim Beazley (senior), a minister in the Whitlam Government; John Dawkins, a minister in the Hawke Government and Keating Governments; and Carmen Lawrence, the former Premier of Western Australia and a minister in the Keating Government.

Ensete is a genus of flowering plants native to tropical regions of Africa and Asia.
It is one of the three genera in the banana family, Musaceae, and includes the false banana or enset (E. ventricosum), an economically important foodcrop in Ethiopia.
The genus Ensete was first described by Paul Fedorowitsch Horaninow (1796-1865) in his Prodromus Monographiae Scitaminarum of 1862 in which he created a single species, Ensete edule.
However, the genus did not receive general recognition until 1947 when it was revived by E. E. Cheesman in the first of a series of papers in the Kew Bulletin on the classification of the bananas, with a total of 25 species.
Taxonomically, the genus Ensete has been reduced since Cheesman restore the taxon.
Cheesman acknowledged that field study might reveal synonymy and the most recent review of the genus by Simmonds (1960) listed just six.
The Plant List accepts eight species as valid.
The plants of Ensete are very large herbs without branches that die after producing seeds; They have only one stem that remains short until flowering.
They have very big leaves; the lower parts of the leaves form a false stem so they look as trees.
Their fruits are leathery and dry berries with few big and hard seeds.
It is possible to separate Ensete into its African and Asian species.
Ensete homblei (Bequart ex De Wild.)
Cheesman - SE Democratic Republic of Congo to N Zambia
Ensete livingstonianum (J.Kirk) Cheesman - Western tropical Africa to Malawi
Ensete perrieri (Claverie) Cheesman - endemic to Madagascar
Ensete ventricosum (Welw.)
Cheesman - enset or false banana, widely cultivated as a food plant in Ethiopia
Ensete glaucum (Roxb.)
Cheesman - widespread in Asia from India to Papua New Guinea
Ensete lasiocarpum (Franch.)
Cheesman - China, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar (Burma)
Ensete superbum (Roxb.)
Cheesman - Western Ghats of India
Ensete wilsonii (Tutcher) Cheesman - Yunnan, China, but doubtfully distinct from E. glaucum

Arius (born around 260, died 336 in Constantinople) was an early Christian thinker.
He lived in Alexandria, but was probably born in Libya.
He did not agree with his bishop Alexander who said that Jesus and God were the same.
Arius said Jesus and God were not the same since there was a time when Jesus did not exist.
At the First Council of Nicea, most bishops did not vote with Arius; the official document says that God the Father and Jesus the Son were of the same essence, and therefore the same being.
They voted that Jesus and God had existed together for all time.

Admiral Sir Charles Howe Fremantle GCB RN (2 June 1800 – 25 May 1869) was a British Royal Navy officer.
The city of Fremantle in Fremantle was the son of Admiral Thomas Fremantle, a friend of Nelson.
His mother was Elizabeth, the diarist.
He was a nephew of William Henry Fremantle.
His elder brother was Thomas Fremantle, 1st Baron Cottesloe.
His middle name, Howe, is because his birth date was the anniversary of Lord Howe's victory over the French on the Glorious First of June in 1794.
He joined the Royal Navy in 1812.
Fremantle was charged with raping a 15-year-old girl in April 1826.
To avoid a scandal, his family paid off witnesses and put pressure on the judge.
In August 1826 he was promoted to captain.
In 1828 he was given command of the 26-gun frigate HMS Challenger, and sent to claim the west coast of Australia for the United Kingdom.
HMS Challenger left the Cape of Good Hope on 20 March 1829.
It arrived in Cockburn Sound on 2 May, and Fremantle went ashore at Garden Island.
One week later, Fremantle raised the British flag at the mouth of the Swan River and claimed Western Australia for King George IV.
The new lieutenant governor James Stirling arrived in Cockburn Sound on 2 June on the  Parmelia, bring 69 new settlers.
They planned to start a colony at the Swan River in Western Australia.
On 8 June they were joined by 56 officers and men from the  HMS Sulphur.
On 17 June, Stirling read out loud a legal document which supported Fremantle's earlier proclamation.
This was the beginning of the history of Western Australia as a British colony, and later as a state of federal Australia.
While he was there he visited many places including Kowloon.
He told the British government that this would be a good site for a British settlement.
They agreed and Hong Kong was settled in 1841.

The Carcharodontosauridae were a family of carnivorous theropod dinosaurs.
They are a clade in the Carnosauria.
Carcharodontosaurids included some of the largest land predators ever known: Giganotosaurus, Mapusaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, and Tyrannotitan.
All of these rivalled or exceeded Tyrannosaurus in size.
Together with the spinosaurids, carcharodontosaurids were the largest predators in the early and middle Cretaceous throughout Gondwana.
They were also in North America (Acrocanthosaurus), and Asia (Shaochilong).
Their ages range from 127 to 93 million years ago (mya).
After that, they may have been replaced by the smaller abelisaurids in Gondwana and by tyrannosaurids in North America and Asia.
If so, this faunal replacement occurred on a global scale.
However, some theropod teeth discovered in the late Cretaceous of Brazil, as well as a fragment of right maxilla appear to belong to carcharodontosaurids.
This suggests the group survived until the latest Cretaceous.
In December 2011, Oliver Rauhut described a new genus and species of carcharodontosaurid from the Upper Jurassic (late Kimmeridgian to earliest Tithonian, about 154150 mya) of southeastern Tanzania.
Veterupristisaurus is the oldest known carcharodontosaurid.

The Stenian is the last geological period in the Mesoproterozoic.
It began 1.2 billion years ago, and ended at 1 billion years ago.
Before it was the Ectasian.
It is followed by the Tonian.
The Ectasian is the second geological period in the Mesoproterozoic.
It began 1.4 billion years ago and ended at 1.2 billion years ago.
The Ectasian came after the Calymmian and before the Stenian.
This period shows for the first evidence of sexual reproduction.
The 1.2 billion-year-old Hunting Formation on Somerset Island, Canada, is from the end of the Ectasian.
It has the microfossils of the multicellular filaments of Bangiomorpha pubescens (a type of red algae).
This was the first organism that had sexual reproduction.
The Calymmian is the first geological period in the Mesoproterozoic.
It began 1.6 billion years ago and ended at 1.4 billion years ago.
In the period new land was formed.
The supercontinent Columbia broke up during the Calymmian about 1.5 billion years ago.
The Statherian is the last geological period in the Palaeoproterozoic.
It began 1.8 billion years ago and ended at 1.6 billion years ago.
The period is marked by new land.
The supercontinent Columbia formed at the beginning of this period.
The Orosirian is the third geological period in the Palaeoproterozoic.
It began 2.05 billion years ago (bya) and ended at 1.8 bya.
The latter half of the period was a time of mountain-building on nearly all continents.
It was the time when the supercontinent Columbia began to form.
Two of the largest known impact events on Earth happened during the Orosirian.
At the beginning of the period, 2023 million years ago (mya), a large asteroid hit the earth and created the Vredefort impact structure.
The event that created the Sudbury Basin structure happened near the end of the period about 1850 mya.
The Rhyacian is the second geological period in the Palaeoproterozoic that began 2.3 billion years ago, and ended at 2.05 billion years ago.
Before it was the Siderian It is followed by the Orosirian.

The Siderian is the first geological period in the Palaeoproterozoic that began 2.5 billion years ago, and ended at 2.3 billion years ago.
Before it was the Neoarchaean It is followed by the Rhyacian.
Banded iron formations (BIFs) became very abundant early this period.
BIFs were formed as anaerobic algae produced waste oxygen that combined with iron, forming magnetite (Fe3O4, an iron oxide).
Eventually, without an oxygen sink in the oceans, the process created the oxygen-rich atmosphere of today.
This event is known as the oxygen catastrophe, which according to some geologists triggered the Huronian glaciation.
The Huronian glaciation took place in the Siderian between 2400 Mya and 2300 Mya.

The Neoarchaean (Neoarchean) is the last geological era in the Archaean eon.
It began 2.8 billion years ago and ended 2.5 billion years ago.
Before the Neoarchaean era was the Mesoarchaean era and before the Palaeoproterozoic.
Oxygenic photosynthesis first evolved in this era.
This led to an oxygen catastrophe in the Palaeoproterozoic era.
It was caused by a poisonous buildup of oxygen in the atmosphere.
This was created by oxygen-producing photoautotrophs that evolved in the Neoarchaean.
The supercontinent Kenorland formed during this period, about 2.7 billion years ago.
The Mesoarchaean (Mesoarchean) is the third geological era in the Archaean eon.
It began 3.2 billion years ago, and ended 2.8 billion years ago.
Before the Mesoarchaean era was the Palaeoarchaean era.
After the Mesoarchaean era was the Neoarchaean.
Fossils from Australia show that stromatolites have lived on Earth since the Mesoarchaean.
The Pongola glaciation occurred 2.9 billion years ago.
The first supercontinent Vaalbara broke up during this time, around 3.2 billion years ago.
The second supercontinent Ur existed during this era, 3.1 billion years ago.
The Palaeoarchaean (Paleoarchean) is the second geological era in the Archaean eon.
It began 3.6 billion years ago and ended 3.2 billion years ago.
Before it was the Eoarchaean and after it was the Mesoarchaean.
The name comes from the Greek word palaios.
Palaios means "ancient".
The oldest fossil life forms are cyanobacteria found in strata 3.46 billion years old.
These rocks are in Western Australia.
The "Bridal Chorus" is a piece of music from Richard Wagner's opera Lohengrin (1850).
Transcriptions of the piece for pipe organ or other instruments are sometimes used at western world weddings as the bride enters the wedding site.
The piece is slow and solemn.
It is sometimes called the Wedding March or the Bridal March.
The Eoarchaean (Eoarchean) is the first geological era in the Archaean eon that began 4 billion years ago, and ended 3.6 billion years ago.
Before it was the Hadean It is followed by the Palaeoarchaean.
The Eoarchaean is the earliest period of geology after the solidification of Earth's crust.
The abiotic origins of life (abiogenesis) have been dated to a time window from 4 to 3.6 billion years ago when atmospheric pressure values ranged from  100 to 10 bar.
It was formerly officially unnamed and usually referred to as the first part of the Early Archaean (now an obsolete name) together with the later Palaeoarchaean Era.
It is the first part of the Archaean Eon, preceded by the Hadean Eon.
The name comes from two Greek words: eos (dawn) and archaios (ancient).
The 1st supercontinent Vaalbara appeared around the end of this period around 3.6 billion years ago.
A characteristic of the Eoarchean is that Earth possessed a firm crust for the first time.
However, this crust may have been incomplete at many sites and areas of lava may have existed at the surface.
The beginning of the Eoarchaean is characterized by heavy asteroid bombardment within the inner solar system: the Late Heavy Bombardment.
The Eoarchaean is the first phase of our planet from which solid rock formations survived.
The largest is the Isua greenstone belt at the southwest coast of Greenland.
It appeared during the Eoarchaean around 3.8 billion years ago.
The Acasta Gneiss within the Canadian Shield have been dated to be 4.03 Ga and are therefore the oldest preserved rock formations.
In 2008 another rock formation was discovered in the Nuvvuagittuq greenstone belt in northern Québec in Canada which has been dated to be 4.28 Ga. These formations are presently under intense investigation.
Earth's oceans formed  3.8 billion years ago.

The term white flight represents large-scale migrations of White people from large cities around Europe and the United States starting in the mid 20th century.
Those large cities were primarily in Midwestern States and Northeastern States: Whites relocated out of those regions and into Southeastern and Southwestern States like Arizona and Texas.
Midwestern cities like Chicago, Detroit or St. Louis, however, lost population of many Whites since the mid 20th century.
The climate of California varies widely from desert to alpine depending on latitude, elevation and how close the area is to the coast.
Most of the coastal and southern parts of the state have a Mediterranean climate with somewhat rainy winters and dry summers.
The deserts in the south of the state have very hot summers and mild winters.
Parts of the south have a semi-arid/steppe climate, for example San Diego.
Temperature range
Northwest California has rainy cool winters and dry summers with temperatures in the summers in the upper 60s to the upper 70s.
