Not in the Port of Fremantle, just west of the entrance of the Port.

Both Carrier and other fleet here for 5 days.

Another USAF C17 arrived in Perth this afternoon, ETD unknown, parked on Bay 50 at the ITB

Thanks G

Correction to what I said - as per Channel 10 news just a moment ago - the Carrier is anchored just out of Fremantle Port whilst the USS Cowpens(spelling?) - Missile Destroyer is docked where the E-Shed Markets are.
