 Walkabout - Guildford
The importance of Guildford at this time was a combination of the fact that it was located at the upper limit of navigation on the Swan River and that the land around the infant settlement was sufficiently good (good clay loam soils) to sustain agriculture.
It was used as the central transport node of the town until the arrival of the railway at Midland in the 1880s.
