dc.description.abstractView of the Freshwater Bay foreshore of the Swan River seen from above a house and garden. The garden is bounded by a steel post and wire fence and runs down to the river and a small jetty. Three girls can be seen down by the water. The house is of stone construction with a corrugated iron roof and a brick chimney. A trellis-walled room is attached to the back of the house and there are several other iron roofed structures on the block. The garden plants include eucalypts and pine trees, a bank of agapanthus along the back and a climbing plant at the rear of the house. The settlement of Claremont was originally called Freshwater Bay because the crew of H.M.S. Beagle found fresh water oozing out of the sand there. In the nineteenth century, Claremont was a separate township, but as the city railway network grew, it became a suburb of Perth.
