Walking Tour – From “primeval forest” to established suburb in 30 years
Join us for a guided heritage walk with heritage consultant Annette Green and explore the transformation of eastern Shenton Park from bushland to suburbia. Starting at the Palms Community Centre on Rokeby Road, we’ll trace the footsteps of the area’s early settlers, uncovering the stories of the people who built homes, raised families, and shaped a diverse community. Along the way, discover how social change and architectural trends are reflected in the streetscapes we see today.
Start – Palms Community Centre, 430 Rokeby Road, Shenton Park
End – The corner of Rokeby Road and Thomas Street, Shenton Park
Duration – 1.5 – 2 hours
Approximate Distance – 3 km
Please bring water, a hat, appropriate walking shoes and dress for the weather. Please note that in the event of inclement weather, the event may be cancelled.
This event is presented by City of Subiaco as part of the City’s Shenton Park Local Heritage Survey Review project.
