Walliston, Western Australia (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Walliston is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the Shire of Kalamunda.Prior to 1949 it was a stopping place on the Upper Darling Range Railway. It was named after John and Emma Wallis, the area's first settlers who arrived in the 1880s. The name was applied by the Railway Department in 1915.In 2008 the Kalamunda shire redrew Walliston's suburb boundaries, resulting in Wallis Lane and the Wallis homestead, still occupied by descendants of John and Emma Wallis, no longer being considered part of the Suburb of Walliston. David Armstrong, 5th generation descendant of the original settlers, was quoted as being surprised when informed of the development. "It seems odd to name the suburb after the first settlers then redraw the boundaries so the original property is no longer included. Personally I'm not affected, but from a historical viewpoint I'd have to express disappointment with this decision of the Kalamunda shire's. Buggered if I know why that council does what it does."
