Year proceedings to be kept on record. Western Australia: An atlas of human endeavour Western Australia: An atlas of human endeavour is an atlas that was published by the Western Australian Department of Education and the Department of Lands and Surveys, and distributed to all school children in WA. It has a foreword by Premier Charles Court, who was personally involved in a number of the projects that were conducted by the organisation. Rather than being simply a collection of maps, like a traditional atlas, the atlas of human endeavour presents descriptive text and photographs illustrating the changes over time since the initial European settlement, in four broad categories: Landscapes Discovery, exploration and settlement Economy Social patterns and processes It includes extensive usage of historical geography, such as historical maps and photographs, for comparison with those of the contemporary landscape: The front and rear covers of the book are false colour images created by processing satellite imagery from Landsat 1 and 2. The front image extends from Rockingham to Lancelin, the rear image from Mandurah to Yallingup. The colours in the images indicate human artefacts such as ploughed land, mining activity, bitumen and concrete, as well as the varying of vegetation. The atlas includes gazetteers and bibliographies - at some divergence from the Sesquicentenary Celebrations Series editions that lacked indexes and adequate reference materials. It was originally published for the 1979 celebrations, and included "18291979" as part of the title; a second edition was published in 1986, without the years in the title. St Georges Terrace plaques One hundred and fifty commemorative plaques were installed along St Georges Terrace, Perth, honouring notable figures in Western Australia's history. Since then, more plaques have been added and, , the years to 1999 were included. In July 2014, the 1959 plaque of Rolf Harris was removed by the City of Perth following his conviction in the UK on charges of indecent assault.
