Western Isolation: The Perth experience of the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic
Publication date: June 2007
Book Cost: $49.95 incl. GST, postage and packaging.
PDF Cost: $29.95 incl. GST.
Description: In early 1919, when the citizens of Australia’s eastern States were succumbing to the Spanish influenza pandemic in their thousands, Perth was free of the disease. Its border quarantine gave it an additional six months of valuable preparation time and the opportunity to learn from the mistakes of NSW, Queensland and Victoria. Thus, Perth suffered far less proportionally than the other States when influenza finally breached its borders.
This book tells the story of Perth’s experience with influenza and why it was so different from that of eastern Australia. It provides a unique perspective on how prepared societies will respond expected emergencies.
