  • Leviathan Mr Stirling Tuckey Tells of the Era of “Leviathan”, a Cargo Vessel That Worked Between Fremantle and Mandurah
    Leviathan Mr Stirling Tuckey tells of the era of “Leviathan”, a cargo vessel that worked between Fremantle and Mandurah. Black Bess There would be only a handful of people in the township of Mandurah today who would remember the Leviathan. Most of them would remember her as “Black Bess” or just plain Wilson’s boat, but she and her builder deserve to take a place in the early history of Mandurah for it was the venture of an old man, helped by his two sons, who worked hard for many long hours, days, months and even years, barely existing at times for lack of money or even food, to accomplish a purpose. This was to provide for Mandurah a seagoing vessel to carry cargo to and from Fremantle and help put Mandurah on the map. Well do I remember the day when she was launched! The chocks were knocked from beneath her hull and with quite some persuasion she slid down into the creek barely deep enough for her to float. From the “big bridge” she looked immense. She must have been the biggest ship ever to be within the Mandurah bar. 3 PINJARRA Road Mandurah, Western Australia | T: (08) 9550 3681 | E: museum@mandurah.wa.gov.au Leviathan Continued Fremantle to Mandurah Before the Great War the only means of transport between Fremantle and Mandurah was by sea (cargo only) or rail to Pinjarra and then by horse and coach or some other form of horse transport to the township. The road to Fremantle was for the greater part a track through the sand, except for patches of stony outcrop for miles north of Mandurah.

  • Silvina Lanyon: One Woman's Enterprise in Mandurah: Theatres
    Silvina Ruby Hannah Lanyon Silvina Lanyon: One Woman’s Enterprise in Mandurah: Theatres and Entertainment –1920s – 1940s Background In a time where theatres, dancing halls and moving pictures were available in the early 1900s, a lady of unusual and exemplary character came to her peak as an entrepreneur in a small town south of Perth. Her name was Silvina Ruby Hannah Lanyon, and that town was Mandurah. Silvina Ruby Lanyon left a legacy to her descendants in the form of a vibrant history of her achievements in business, her love of Art and her commitment to community and social activities. Silvina was born in Herberton Queensland in 1883 to parents Mary and William Rowe. At the age of 17 years, Silvina married James Caddy Lanyon aged 19 years at Cobar, N.S.W in 1900. James Caddy Lanyon was born in Ballarat to a mining family and with this background, he and Silvina, with other members of their family migrated to the Western Australian Goldfields. 3 PINJARRA Road Mandurah, Western Australia | T: (08) 9550 3681 | E: museum@mandurah.wa.gov.au Silvina Lanyon cont’d Silvina started to show her skills as a business woman early in her married life. During 1905 and 1906 James and Silvina (as proprietress) advertised in the local paper of the availability of rooms and dining situated opposite the railway station in “Murrin Murrin”. James worked for the Golden Gate mine and then with the Western Australian Government Railways until his enlistment in 1916 for WW1, and registered at Guildford. In Midland Silvina operated a confectionary and fruit stall while waiting for her husband’s return from the war.

  • Herron Todd White Property Report
    PROPERTY REPORT Western Australia Introduction The Australian property market is experiencing mixed fortunes, and while ‘upgraders’ have taken over from first home buyers in many areas, the state of markets around the country is far from uniform. Buyers in many areas remain hesitant following a string of interest rate rises with the possibility of more to come. Concerns over European debt woes, and the possibility of wider economic fallout also weighs heavily on the market. In some areas where financial impact of tourism is particularly important, for example coastal Queensland and the south coast of West Australia, property markets remain generally subdued post the Global Financial Crisis. Friction between the Federal Government and the mining industry had a negative impact on property markets in resource-rich regions, with many buyers adopting a ‘wait and see’ approach. However, with a more conciliatory new Prime Minister, and a lower rate of mining tax than originally proposed, property markets in mining regions may strengthen. ‘Upgraders’ fill the gap One of the key features of today’s market is a marked slowdown in first home buyer activity following the cutback in government incentives at the end of 2009. In many parts of Australia, prices at the low end of the market rose steeply throughout 2008/09 reflecting increased activity among first home buyers. In some cases prices rose beyond the value of the additional incentives, however, without continued strong demand from first home buyers, values at the lower end of the market could remain static for some time. Upgraders are tending to fill the gap left by first timers, buoyed by increased home equity – the result of several years of strong price growth.
