From Your Editors
W
ell here we are more than half way through 2021. This is our third quarterly magazine for the year. In our March 2021 edition we paid tribute to our volunteers. In this edition we pay tribute to our 22 Life Members. We thank this special group of volunteers who have done so much for our Club from 1976 to the present day. As always we hope that you enjoy what we have put together with help from Jim Woodward, Brian Lucas and all our other regular contributors. A special thank you to Ian Lucas, Carmel Hyde, Denis Croker, Wendy Flack, Robyn van Mosseveld, Bruce Eagles and Lee Leach who are always prepared to help with photographs. Thanks also to Ian Wittber who has spent many hours digitising old photographs. Some more "Did you Hear" and "Did you Know" Did you know that there is some confusion about what constitutes the Perth Metropolitan area? Someone told us that geographically Perth is the 12th largest city in the world. With help from Google and Bob Mulroy we have established that Perth stretches from Yanchep in the North to Mandurah in the South (a distance of 124 km) and covers 6418 square kilometres. Based on the following we have Perth in 6th position! Square kilometres 1. New York - Newark United States 12,093 2. Boston - Providence United States 9,538 3. Tokyo Japan 8,230 4. Atlanta United States 7,400 5. Chicago United States 7,006 6. Perth Australia 6,418 7. Los Angeles United States 6,351 8. Moscow Russia 5,891 9. Washington - Baltimore United States 5,891
