BOOKS
FOR SALE
The following books written by
well known author Stan Gervas will
be of interest to every lover of Perth and Western Australia:
Five
Graves in Dalwallinu
- the story about a colossus of a man, Gus Leibe, who came to Australia in 1886
as a builder and left his mark with such buildings in Perth as His Majesties
Theatre and the Peninsula Hotel in Maylands. He later took to farming and
changed farming operations in WA on a large scale.
Sunday
Mornings in Perth
- a delightful account of walking through Perth streets on a Sunday morning and
describing the buildings and some of the history associated with them.
The
Great Scam
- Few people are familiar with the Braddon Clause but in the Federal
Constitution of 1901, it was a clause designed to protect the smaller states
who, at that time, had little political clout.
The Great Scam outlines how this clause has largely been ignored in regard to the treatment of Western Australia in particular by the political hierarchies in Canberra.
