Centenary of Western Australia

In 1929 the Western Mail published a Centenary Issue "2029 Perth", which included a 1929 artist's conception of what Perth would look like in 2029.

In 1929, Western Australia (WA) celebrated the centenary of the founding of Perth and the establishment of the Swan River Colony, the first permanent European settlement in WA. A variety of events were run in Perth, regional areas throughout the state, and even across Australia such as the Western Australian Centenary Air Race.[1]
