The memorial is designed in the shape of a wave with a map of Portugal in handmade WA ceramic tiles. As Australia's gateway to the Indian Ocean and as one of the most culturally diverse cities in our nation, it is particularly fitting that Fremantle should have such a memorial.' 'The memorial symbolises the links which bind WA to the Indian Ocean region.
