Description

This is a Free Point of Interest. No camping or overnight parking allowed. You can’t miss Marcus Canning’s Containbow as you make your way down Canning Highway en route to Fremantle. The rainbow colours of the recycled shipping containers are visible from quite a distance, the entire arched installation measuring 9 metres high and 19 metres long. Commissioned by the City of Fremantle, the artwork is a fitting welcome to the port city, paying homage to both the shipping industry that sustains it and the vibrant creative community that inhabits it. But there’s even further meaning hidden in the chosen shape, colours, and materials used, all of them symbolising hope, inclusivity, and sustainability. To see the piece up close, park at Tuckfield Oval parkland or at the car park off Beach Street and walk the short distance over.
