Western Australian Heritage Icons 2004
The Western Australian Heritage Icons were announced in 2004 to celebrate the 175th Anniversary of the founding of Western Australia. The list was compiled by the Western Australian Government and the National Trust of Australia (WA). The public were able to nominate their choices, however the number of nominations were not the final deciding factor. Thirteen icons were included in the project, one for each month of the anniversary and two in December.

“trying to live in the terrible western world

is pretentious,”

“The Australian mind, I can state with authority, is easily boggled.”
—Charles Osborne (b. 1927)
“Flowers ... that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their colouring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children—honoured as the jewellery of God only by them—when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.”
—Thomas De Quincey (1785–1859)
