The benefit of this book is the insight into the history and background of
the colony of Western Australia and its current organisation by government and
other bodies such as the churches. It does not provide the reader with lists of
names but does occasionally mention a person in the narrative.
In gaining a snap shot of Western Australia and thus providing valuable
background information for researchers, this book is important with coverage as
follows:
- Progress of the colony—financial, industrial, and material as relating
to the banks, income, shipping, post and telegraphs, and the railways
- Development—harbour works at Fremantle, Perth, Guildford, York,
Newcastle, Northam, Albany, Geraldton and Bunbury
- Commerce— Agriculture, wine, fruit, timber, pastoral, wool, fisheries,
pearls and shell
- Newspapers
- Convicts
- Aborigines
- The churches
