Found these two comparative pics a while back, the colour shot is from 2008 and a black and white one from 1948. It really shows how much the city has changed in the past few decades. Be it the Freeway system, the reclaiming of foreshore land (bottom left) or the hideous structures that now inhabit the rivers edge.
Depending on your screen resolution these pics may be too big for you to see all of them, if that's the case then just click the pic to go to the full size version. Interesting to see what look like warships at the Barrack St Jetty (see close up pic), have to be patrol boats or something as I doubt the river is deep enough for anything else.

I saw an aerial view of West Perth somewhere, taken in 1970. Unrecognisable today, it was still a residential area back then. All those fine old houses gone.
