By morning, many people had already left, while others were still packing. Some, like Gemma Jones, rejected the offered accommodation (a Fremantle caravan park deemed too far away) and planned to stay in private yards or find other spots. A mother and child were being sent to respite accommodation for a week. Advocate Owen Farmer helped coordinate packing for multiple residents.
“Memorial Drive is ... a very visible and distressing example of what we are seeing across WA.”
