Castledare Boys' Home was a residential college in Wilson, Western Australia owned and operated by the Congregation of Christian Brothers from March 1929 to 1983 and established for the treatment and training of intellectually handicapped children. A 1929 newspaper article announcing the opening described it as a "training school for sub-normal boys". It opened with ten boys and under the directorship of Brother G. Hyland. The state psychologist, Ethel Stoneham, travelled to Europe and the United States to study similar institutions and was influential in the design of the home. Later it had a more general educational and residential focus, accommodating boys from various backgrounds, including child migrants, wards of the state, and orphans. The site was previously a pastoral property called "Niana" built by the Fleming family between 1906 and 1908, and when taken over occupied 83 acres. It is on the banks of the Canning River and adjoins Canning River Regional Park. A Federation style homestead on the property is listed on the State Heritage Register.The first child migrants from the UK came to Castledare in the late 1930s. This ceased temporarily during World War II. Nuns were introduced in 1949, by which time there were 100 primary school children. The Mother of Perpetual Succour Chapel was constructed in 1957 and blessed and opened by Archbishop Redmond Prendiville. In 1977 the chapel became the parish church of Wilson. Castledare has a popular rideable miniature railway which is open to the public. It has operated since the early 1960s. In 1994, the Parliament of Western Australia was presented a petition with 30,000 signatures demanding an inquiry into the sexual and physical assault that took place in various institutions run by the Christian Brothers, including Castledare. Other institutions included in the petition were Bindoon, Clontarf and Tardun. In 1998 the site was redeveloped as an aged care facility and retirement village called Castledare Retirement Village and operated by Catholic Homes Incorporated.

Riverton Bridge is a two-lane road traffic bridge spanning the Canning River at Riverton, in Perth, Western Australia. It was originally built in 1911 and known as the Watts Road Bridge, being renamed to Riverton Bridge in 1916. By the 1930s the bridge had fallen into disrepair. In 1954 it was replaced with the current structure, which is slightly upstream of the original. Part of the original bridge was kept as a swimming jetty, but this was demolished in 1980 for safety reasons.Until the 1970s the bridge formed part of the major east–west road system south of the Canning River and was part of what was then High Road between Fremantle and Cannington. In 1978, High Road was upgraded and realigned to become Leach Highway, and as part of that project the concrete four-lane Shelley Bridge was built appropriately 470 metres (510 yd) downstream. Since then, Riverton Bridge has been used for mainly local traffic. In 1937 the suburb of Riverton was informally called Riverton Bridge to avoid confusion with the South Australian town of Riverton.
