Winthrop Avenue
Winthrop Avenue is a major north-south road in the Perth suburbs of Nedlands and Crawley. For most of its length, the road travels alongside the south-western edge of Kings Park, connecting Thomas Street with Stirling Highway, Mounts Bay Road, and the University of Western Australia's Crawley campus. It is the southernmost section of State Route 61, which links Crawley with West Perth and Yokine.
==History==
Winthrop Avenue is named after Sir John Winthrop Hackett, who was a newspaper editor, politician and university chancellor. Originally named Ferdinand Street, it was renamed in 1932 to perpetuate Hackett's legacy. In 1937 improvements to the road were proposed, to make it attractive, and because the road was "bumpy" and "patched". Though it was a boundary road between the Perth City Council and Subiaco Municipal Council, Subiaco were unwilling to pay for half the cost.〔 Winthrop Avenue remained poorly constructed in 1939, with calls for it to be upgraded to dual carriageway standard. In 1940, a plan for construction of the second carriageway was announced by the King's Park Board, the Perth City Council and the Subiaco Municipal Council. The councils would be jointly responsible for the building of the road, with the King's Park Board responsible for the clearing of vegetation.〔 The resumption of a strip of land along the edge of the park needed for the works was approved by an Act of Parliament.〔
