 WESTERN AUSTRALIA - LoveToKnow Article on WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Western Australia differs from the country to the east in having no extensive ranges to collect vapour, while the trade winds blow off the dry land instead of from the ocean; for these two reasons the climate is very dry.
Western Australia is the most sparsely populated of all the states; only the coastal fringe and the gold-fields show any evidences of settlement, and if the area were divided amongst the population there would be but ten persons to 52 sq.
The divergence of the policy of Western Australia from that pursued by other states was caused by the inability of the government to construct lines at a time when the extension of the railway was most urgently required in the interests of settlement.

 Premier of Western Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The premier must be a member of one of the two Houses of the Parliament of Western Australia; by convention the premier is a member of the lower house, the Western Australian Legislative Assembly.
The Constitution of Western Australia does not explicitly provide for a premier, and the office was not formally listed as one of the executive offices until the appointment of Ross McLarty in 1947.
Following the Federation of Australia in 1901, Western Australia became an Australian State, and the responsibilities of the office of premier were diminished.

 Nikola Balnave | Company-Sponsored Recreation in Australia: 1890–1965 | Labour History, 85 | The History ...
The purpose of this paper is to examine the rationale behind company-sponsored recreation in Australia, thereby providing an alternative cultural context in which to understand its role in the management of labour.
This, coupled with evidence from the public sector such as the elaborate welfare schemes aimed at the largely male workforce of the NSW Government Railways, challenges the argument that welfarism in Australia was principally targeted at the female labour force.
This, according to the Personnel Practice Branch in Australia, 'further fortifies the viewpoint that recreation is a means of integrating the employer-employee relationship'.
