An illustrated history of the development of the aerodrome on the Maylands Peninsula. Join us for a fun and fascinating local history talk. Bevan Marshall, who served his apprenticeship at Maylands Aerodrome and even learned to fly there, will present this engaging talk on the development of the aerodrome on the Maylands Peninsula, the aircraft that were based there, and the men and women who flew them.

As part of the Lotterywest Boorloo Heritage Festival, join local artist Andrew Hawes and other East Perth Community volunteers for a heritage walk taking in snippets of Claisebrook's past. This guided walk covers part of the East Perth Community Group's 'Gecko Walk' that showcases some of the works from the redevelopment of Claisebrook Cove over the last 30 years. Learn about the various people and industries that have been a part of this area and how they used the natural and built environment. Over 90 minutes, the walk covers approximately 2 km.
