The history of the WA Club is closely interwoven with the history of Western Australia and has been an integral part of the State's commercial, business and political activity for almost 100 years. It was established in 1893 by some of Western Australia's leading citizens to create a meeting place for men working for the growth and betterment of the Swan River colony. They included the pioneers of the vast tracts of land from the far north to the south, prominent businessmen, the legal and accounting professions, politicians and premiers.

The author follows the development of the club and the shifting fortunes of Western Australia through world wars, the great depression, periods of growth and stagnation. The book presents collected memories, anecdotal recollections, recorded events and a pictorial history of the club from 1893 to 1990.
