A thematic history of Western Australia

Clare Menck

Commissioned by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage on behalf of the Heritage Council of Western Australia, and authored by historian Clare Menck, the Thematic History of Western Australia is an outstanding achievement. Not only does it guide the heritage assessment and registration work of the Department and the Heritage Council on a daily basis, it is also an invaluable tool for anyone working in the field of Western Australian history. Taking some of the most important key events and phases in our state’s history, Clare has woven a narrative that takes the reader on a journey through time. Illustrated with examples to help tell these important stories, this thematic history allows us to take a step back and look at the big picture before diving back in to the many threads of our history. This work allows us to see where we came from, and better understand where we are today
