This week on Suburban focus, we’re going far back in Perth’s history – to before it was even called Perth.

Dr Shane Burke from Notre Dame University joined us in the studio today.

He specialises in the archaeology and history of the recent past, with a focus on the early history of Western Australia.

So what's the history of the Swan River catchment? Dr Burke walked us through the story of the land beneath our feet.

Weekends are already pretty good, but they’re even better with WA’s own, Michael Genovese and Carmen Braidwood.
This pair of local voices is ready to hear your thoughts on all the things that make Perth tick – and of course all the things that make weekends great: like sport, property news and gardening with 6PR’s own Sue McDougall.
