    Abstract

    This is an action research study utilising digitality to question its capacity to narrate history and sustainability. Research output is in the form of an online Creative Production depicting Fremantle, led by its Mayor, on an unfolding journey towards sustainability over four years. This is accompanied by a commentary/exegesis. Since the mode of my theorising is through media representation, I necessarily have to foreground myself, which I have done through the role of ‘hitchhiker’.
