Description
Perth is a city where history and nature blend in unexpected ways. David Whish-Wilson's lyrical exploration reveals the richness beneath the surface of this Australian capital, where the Swan River flows in two directions at once. With carefully researched facts and personal reminiscences, Whish-Wilson brings to life the people and places that make Perth a unique city. Beyond the sunshine and shiny glass facades, Whish-Wilson introduces readers to the natural world and the trailblazers, rebels, and ordinary people who have shaped Perth's history. This updated edition of Perth includes a remarkable new postscript, adding depth and complexity to this already engaging narrative. By exploring Perth's contradictions and eccentricities, Whish-Wilson offers a nuanced portrait of a city that is both familiar and surprising.
