Local notes

A Jubilee 150 Walk of 150 bronze plaques was created along the northern footpath of North Terrace from King William Street to Pulteney Street. Most of the J150 plaques give the name, year of birth and death, and the principal occupations of the people honoured. A few plaques contain the names of more than one person, so a total of 170 individuals have been commemorated. Many of the plaques were sponsored by individuals, families or organisations. The plaques are arranged in alphabetical order along the footpath. There are some exceptions to this layout: Victoria Cross and George Cross recipients are grouped near the War Memorial, two sets of pioneer vignerons are placed after Bill Veale, Mary Lee is located between Thomas Stow and Arthur Strange, and Sir Robert Torrens and Alf Traeger are transposed. This book, contains biographies of each individual named on the J150 plaques.
