Old maps of Perth

[stephbg]

For gemfyre, an old street map of Perth around the area of the proposed Stephenson Highway. Amusing if you're familiar with the modern Osborne Park area. Dated late 60s/early 70s. It should be possible to pin down a publication date if necessary.

Ooh, that's really interesting. Does the yellow shading indicate paved roads? My parents' place is marked out and unshaded, and I know it wasn't bitumenised (sic?) until the late 50s at the earliest.

I believe so.

If only Nearmap was invented 70 years or so ago. :P
