The Gosnells Story by G McDonald and W S Cooper

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent.

The history of the Gosnells district from 1829 to 1987. It is a story that has never been told before, and many are unaware of the important part it plays in the colonial history of Western Australia. Some of the earliest land grants were taken up by settlers along the Canning River. The history traces a Gonsells that has changed and expanded over the decades: first as a mixed farming area, then giving way to orchards and market gardens and poultry farms, and finally emerging as a vital urban centre with important rural aspects. (Preface)

Includes the area stretching from Beckenham to Seaforth and from the hill country above Martin and Orange Grove through Langford, Kenwick, Maddington, Thorlie, Huntingdale, and Gosnells to the sands of Southern River and Canning Vale.
