WEST AUSTRALIANA - Nineteen fifties Children -- Western Australia -- Medina -- Anecdotes Medina (W.A.) -- Social life and customs First Edition. 240 pages : illustrations, portraits ; 26 cm. #050726 (Light corner crease to cover.) Quite SCARCE. MedinaÂis a suburb ofÂPerth, Western Australia, locate…d within theÂCity of Kwinana. It lies 32 km south of central Perth.Medina was the first developed of the Kwinana suburbs named after ships carrying settlers to theÂSwan River ColonyÂin 1829 and 1830.ÂMedinaÂarrived at Fremantle on 6 July 1830 with 51 passengers on board. The ship's nameÂMedinaÂis believed to be derived from theÂRiver MedinaÂon theÂIsle of Wight, and was approved as a suburb name in 1953. Streets were named after passengers and crew, such as Pace Road after Captain Walter Pace, and Ridley Green, Ridley Way and Ridley Court after passenger Mary Eliza Ridley.Medina is a well-established suburb, designed in the early 1950s by Perth's first female town planner, Margaret Feilman. Medina was the first of Kwinana's four 'neighbourhood units' developed to meet the housing needs of the newly established Kwinana industrial area. During the 1950s construction included Australia's largestÂoil refinery, operated by theÂAnglo-Iranian Oil CompanyÂ(later British Petroleum); the Cockburn Cement works (then owned by Rugby Portland Cement); and aÂBHPÂblast furnace and steel-rolling mill. In 1963 Alcoa of Australia established an alumina refinery, and in 1967 theÂCSBPÂsulphuric acid and superphosphate plants were commissioned.Medina housing was typical for the State Housing Commission (now the Housing Authority) of the era. Most original houses were built withÂjarrahÂweatherboard to window height, and asbestos sheeting above, with jarrah frames, floors and stumps. Most lots wereÂ730 square metres (7,900ÂsqÂft)Âor greater in size. Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
