Explorers’ Monument in Esplanade Park, Fremantle, Western Australia

The Explorer’s Monument was erected in 1913 to honour Frederick Panter, James Harding and William Goldwyer. Panter, Harding and Goldwyer were killed by Aboriginal people in 1864, while exploring north-west of Western Australia. In response, a reprisal party of colonists massacred somewhere around 20 Aboriginal people.
