Omission

Reason for the kink in St George's Tce / Adelaide Tce at Victoria Avenue

I have no proper source for this, but I was told that it was because the Roes' house was at the end of St George's Tce, and Victoria Ave marked the eastern end of Perth. Then, when the settlement's extension eastwards was being planned, Roe, as Surveyor-General, decided that the new Adelaide Terrace would run beside his family home instead of through it.

1860

apparently he left WA in 1860 and that his departure warranted a notice from Toodyay people thanking him for his service "To the Editor of the Inquirer and Commercial News". The Inquirer & Commercial News (Perth, WA : 1855 - 1901). Perth, WA: National Library of Australia. 18 January 1860. p. 3. Retrieved 6 March 2014. Gnangarra 03:31, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
