Western Australia. Economic conditions, 1929-1933 (ANB/PRECIS SIN 600145379) Describes the impact of the Depression of the early 1930s on Perth and the Western Australian hinterland. Western Australia was an isolated corner of the world with optimistic expectations and a strong sense of community. These qualities were soon shaken by a crisis of large-scale unemployment, which created much hardship and tension, and brought the West to the verge of seceding from the rest of Australia.
