Mr Astone transported hundreds of migrants and brought them to settle within the Northbridge area. During the 1950s, Mr Astone made a significant contribution to the local community through his work as the owner of a taxi fleet, fruit and vegetable vendor, and a crockery business where he established a vast network of Northbridge restaurant clients. His crockery business continued for 26 years. My father was a well known figure within the Northbridge community, who resided at 135 Bulwer Street for over 40 years. The cohort of students from that time (Highgate Primary School) remember Mr Astone as the 'Man with the red truck'."Baker AvenuePerthHenry Baker - City BakerHenry Baker was a carrier...Mr Baker investigated in several properties.

In 1839, a dam is constructed across the Swan River between the Perth shore and Heirrison Islands, and being a dam rather than a bridge, it became known as the Causeway. The name was retained for subsequent bridges built here, the first joining of the shores of the Swan River here with a bridge, occurring in 1843. This bridge remained in use until 1947. The post-war baby boom and increased immigration brought rapid growth to Australia's towns and cities, and growth in the number of vehicles and traffic increased greatly. Governments across Australia pursued road construction with great vigour, and it was at this time that the present Causeway was built and the boundaries of Heirrison Island were clearly defined with the building of the island's seawalls.Caversham StreetPerthChapman StreetPerthCharles StreetPerth, West Perth, North PerthBy 1845Charles FitzgeraldCharles Street was named after Captain Charles Fitzgerald, Governor of WA, 1848-55.
