In 1826 a detachment of soldiers arrived at King George Sound on the southern coast to establish a settlement and stop the French laying claim to the western part of the continent. The King George Sound settlement eventually grew into the town of Albany.

The first one of the most famous explorers in Australia was James Stirling who was the first one to meet the swan river colony in the year of 1827 of March. He had explored the area in the HMS Success which had first anchored off the Rottnest Island around W.A.

The Swan River Pioneers Group 1829-1838 was formed early in 1993, as a Special Interest Group of the Western Australian Genealogical Society Inc. The era 1829-1838 was chosen, as this was the period of Sir James Stirling's administration. His administration as Governor ended on 31st December 1838. On January 5th 1839 he departed the Colony with Lady Ellen Stirling. Swan River Colony was established on the swan river on the west coast of Australia in 1829. The Group produces Certificates of Descendancy for members and non-members who are directly descended from the early pioneer families who arrived in the Swan Colony during the above period. The Committee has produced and passed some 1500 Certificates to descendants and applications are still coming in. The Group holds an Annual Dinner on the Foundation Day weekend in June of every year with local dignitaries to help celebrate the arrival of our early pioneer ancestors. Perth was founded in 1829 as the Swan River Colony but it grew very slowly until 1850 when convicts were brought in to alleviate the labour shortage. There are many attractions along the Swan River leading up to the Swan Valley vineyards. These include Tranby House, The Rail Transport Museum, The Old Courthouse, Gaol Museum and Whitman’s Park which is Perth’s largest reserve. The Swan River estuary flows through the city of Perth, in the south west of Western Australia. Its lower reaches are relatively wide and deep, with few constrictions, while the upper reaches are usually quite narrow and shallow. It was named by the Dutch explorer, Willem de Vlamingh in 1697, after the famous black swans of the area. The Swan River drains the Avon and Swan Coastal catchments, which have a total area of about 121,000 km². The Avon River contributes the majority of its freshwater flow. The climate of the catchment is Mediterranean, with mild wet winters, hot dry summers, and the associated highly seasonal rainfall and flow regime. While the Swan River has not been dammed, two of its tributary rivers - the Helena River and the Canning River - have been dammed for collection of water supplies, at Mundaring Weir and Canning Dam. The estuary is subject to a micro tidal regime, with a maximum tidal amplitude of about one metre, although water levels are also subject to barometric pressure fluctuations. The Perth Water location on the river adjacent to the City of Perth is a popular place for viewing the annual Australia Day fireworks, with over 400 000 people crowding the foreshore, Kings Park and boats on the river. The Noongar believe that the Darling Scarp is said to represent the body of a Wagyl - a snakelike being from Dreamtime that meandered over the land creating rivers, waterways and lakes, it is thought that the Waugal created the Swan River. In the days of the founding of the swan river things would be very different to what they are like now. of couse we would climb trees every now and then. but in those days they had no electricity. so they would have fun on their own or i groups climbing trees and making stuff out of things they find on the sidewalk. not out of stuff they buy .but they could buy stuff but maybe not as good as what stuff is now. if they lived now it would be totally different to what it is now. For a kid it may be cooler or even stranger than before but they are soposed to represent their thime not ours. so every century passed means their time is more forign and interesting to discover. This colony had been found the name of a captain called Captain James Stirling Western Australia on 1829 when Perth and Fremantle was established. The world was a lot different in those times saying the washing was done in the lake and toilets weren't invented so people used the ground or somewhere private. so what i'm saying is they didn't have toilets and they didn't have washing machines and all these new gadgets like they have now. The colony became part of Western Australia on the year of 1890. James Stirling sail there with the HMS Success ship. The swan river c**o**lony was a British settlement that was found in the year of 1829 When the colony’s lieutenant-governor, captin James Stirling, belatedly received his commission in early 1832, the colony was renamed ``Western Australia’’, and its lands were extended to include the entire western third of Australia. However the name ``swan river colony’’ continued to be used informally for many years. The first reports of the new colony arrived back in England in late January 1830. They described the poor conditions and the land as being totally unfit for agriculture. They went on to say that the settlers were in a state of //near starvation// and (incorrectly) said that the colony had been abandoned. As a result of these reports, many people cancelled their migration plans or diverted to Cape Town or New south whales. Nevertheless a few settlers arrived and additional stores were despatched. By 1832 the settler population of the colony had reached about 1,500 (Aboriginal people were not counted but in the south west have been estimated to number 15,000), but the difficulty of clearing land to grow crops were so great that by 1850 the population had only increased to 5,886. This population had settled mainly around the southwestern coastline at Bunbury, Augustus and Albany. On the year of 1838, the Swan River Colony had occupied and literally and take the whole space of Australia which that’s means the whole of Australia only. Travellers from Australia saling east from Cape Town in Western Australia, Africa, edured weeks of bad food the had on their ships and water that smell like it came from the sea. Fremantle had stained Georgain houses and the solid public buildings and other places...
