We Came By Sea: Celebrating Western Australia's Migrant Welcome Walls by Nonja Peters

Book Description

Secondhand. Near fine condition. Two small scratches on spine.

Since British settlement of King George Sound in 1826 and the Swan River in 1829, millions of migrants have made Western Australia their home. The lands from which they came, the ships and the routes they took, the circumstances which shaped their journeys are both unique and diverse.

The Welcome Walls are a tribute to their contributions to the social, cultural, economic and political development of this state.

We Came By Sea is a beautifully illustrated deluxe casebound book that includes an informative and highly readable story of migration to Western Australia from the time of the first European settlers through to the early 1980s.
