100 YEARS OF A SHED 🍻 Meet Bob Johnson aka Happy Bob!
Born in Fremantle in 1927, Bob has lived quite the life. From working here at A Shed in 1945 to mining in Kalgoorlie, working on sheep stations up north and travelling across WA, he’s certainly got a few stories to tell.
A self-confessed wanderer, Bob has always been curious about what lies around the next corner. Now 93, he’s swapped some of those travels for writing, sharing memories and keeping in touch with old friends through letters.
We’re pretty lucky to have people like Bob sharing their stories and giving us a glimpse into Fremantle’s past.
Here’s to 100 years of A Shed and the people who’ve been part of it. 🍻
