In 1899, Chowall killed Curenit after a quarrel at the Noongar camp near what was then Plympton and is now East Fremantle. Chowall, who was known as Hoppy, was from the Esperance area. Plympton was located between the river and Marmion Street, west of what later became the Richmond Raceway. This was the first part of East Fremantle to be developed when workers’ cottages were built there from 1890. (A Dangerous Native, The West Australian, 6 October 1899, Cited in Cook, 2016)
