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.

My dad got there first :-)

Only in a manner of speaking, I'm sure! On the ground, my dad may well have been there first:-)

You have a point. I was only referring to the viewing of the map. Where did your parents live when they first got married? Are they still there?

No where on _these_ maps!

They first lived in Konnongorring... which pretty much didn't exist once they left... Dad closed a number of school's.
Then they lived near emma_in_oz's folks, before going to the house we lived in for most of our childhood. They moved from there a couple of years ago.
