Crawley is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the City of Subiaco and City of Perth. The earlier name of the locality was Crawley Park.〔Brain, Alison V.(2001) ''Crawley Park and its occupants, 1829-1910''. Early days, Vol.12, pt.1 (2001), p.39-46〕 It is home to the University of Western Australia, the state's oldest university. During World War II, Crawley was the start point for The Double Sunrise squadron which was formed in 1943 to keep the air route between Australia and the United Kingdom open. The Crawley Edge Boatshed is a well-recognised and frequently photographed site in Crawley.〔for example http://henrietta.liswa.wa.gov.au/record=b2545015~S2 and http://henrietta.liswa.wa.gov.au/record=b2546795~S2. Re ownership see: - (2000) ''Who owns this shed?'' -Boatshed off Mounts Bay Road badly vandalised and needs repair. Subiaco post, 6 May 2000, p.20, http://henrietta.liswa.wa.gov.au/record=b1948481~S2 - then - (2002) ''Historic boat shed back in Nattrass hands.''Historic Mounts Bay Road boatshed bought by the Nattrass family.Subiaco post, 2 Nov. 2002, p.64 http://henrietta.liswa.wa.gov.au/record=b2110979~S2〕 It is thought to have been originally constructed in the early 1930s. It has changed hands several times, and after being refurbished in the early 2000s, it was re-launched by triple solo-circumnavigator of the world, Jon Sanders, and single solo-circumnavigator David Dicks. A statue called ''Eliza'' is also located in Matilda Bay in the Swan River, in Crawley. Created by Tony and Ben Jones, the statue was unveiled on 15 October 2007, to commemorate Crawley Baths, Perth's prime competition and recreational swimming venue from 1914-1964. Eliza is often dressed up in clothing to represent special occasions.〔(Eliza on flickr )〕 The Royal Perth Yacht Club re-established on the shore of Pelican Point also in Crawley, after moving from its location in Perth, in 1953. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crawley, Western Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
