Layered Landscape The Swamps of Colonial Northbridge
This study focuses on a very small area of land that forms part of the northern central business district of Perth in Western Australia. In investigating this microscale of human occupation, the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) was a research tool to investigate traditional historical sources not commonly thought of by historians as spatial. Changes, rediscovered through the agency of GIS, showed that the northern part of the townscape was intimately defined and cast in response to its swampland topography.
