We appreciate your understanding and hope you can still join us on the new date. All other event details remain the same.
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.
