East Perth is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia , located within close proximity to the Perth CBD. It is the location of Perth's significant early colonial era cemetery, which contains graves of many early colonial families. Its condition is marginal due to the loss of many headstones and lack of adequate record of graves. It was in the early twentieth century primarily an industrial area. It was the location of the East Perth Gas Works , and East Perth Power Station (which was decommissioned and the building is being renovated for other purposes) , the East Perth railway yard, and East Perth engine sheds. A considerable number of industrial and run down residential properties in this suburb have been changed to modern residential units, through the administration by the East Perth Redevelopment Authority. East Perth serves as the main hub for country and interstate railservices. Departing from the station are services such as the Prospector , Avonlink , tourist trains, and the most famous train in Australia , the Indian Pacific . Current sporting attractions include the WACA Ground and Gloucester Park Trotting Ground. The postcode is 6004. |
