Hay Street, Perth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hay Street is major road through the CBD of Perth, Western Australia. The street was named after Robert William Hay, the Permanent Under Secretary for Colonies. Sections of the road were called Howick Street and Twiss Street until 1897[1]. Orientated east-west, the road starts at the Causeway traveling west through the suburbs of East Perth, Perth, West Perth, and Subiaco, where the road originally terminated at the Subiaco subway under the Fremantle railway line. At that point it joins into Underwood Avenue that goes through Jolimont, Floreat (past Perry Lakes) and ends in Swanbourne.
