In its centenary year of British settlement, Western Australia, isolated, optimistic and clannish, was shaken by the onset of the Great Depression. Bolton traces the Depression years until the secession referendum of 1933, when the West voted to quit the Australian Commonwealth.
Includes discussion of the Group Settlement Scheme in the South West.
