In 1962 a lone astronaut orbiting the Earth sighted a small cluster of lights on the dark silhouette of Australia's western coastline - a token of friendship from the people of Perth which prompted the world's media to dub this isolated provincial outpost the "City of Light." This book expands the metaphor and the result is a frank, incisive and richly detailed investigation of the city's growth and transformation, accompanied by beautiful photographs.
