Know Your Suburb - Bill Thomas

In the early 1990s, volunteers at the office of Bill Thomas, MLA for Cockburn, began researching and putting together a series of short histories of the suburbs of Cockburn.

Helped by a staff member at Bill's office, the volunteers interviewed local residents and dug up all kinds of interesting tidbits of information, which were compiled into pamphlets and distributed free to households in the Cockburn area.
