You will hear of astounding Irish prisoners escaping, comical British Bushrangers, its impact as a port during World War II and shameful expulsion of aboriginals to Rottnest Island.

Her talk will reflect on the key transformative changes Perth went through that formed the basis for this success.

Contra bike lane gets trial in Fremantle

CITY of Fremantle councillors have backed the installation of a contra flow cycle lane along William Street, saying it could improve safety for cyclists around the Kings Square area.

The city has introduced the contra flow cycle lane, to be installed as part of a trial between the High Street Mall and the Paddy Troy Mall, as an addition to the expansion of the bicycle network.

The installation would see the loss of nine car parking bays along William Street when the car parks are changed from parallel parking lots to angled parking lots to make room for the lane.
