2012

In early 2012, in view of pending changes to the shore-line of Perth, Western Australia Wikipedians went to some effort to record the area.

The event's page is Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes Perth Foreshore, and photos were added to commons:Category:Wikipedia Takes Perth Foreshore.

2019

In late 2019, as a means of exhibiting the important value of on-going wiki clubs as being valuable contributors to the documentation of change in their home environments, and specially as a memorial event (for the recently deceased User:Morethangrass).

Wikipedia takes Elizabeth Quay is a seven year followup of the earlier event.

Also there will be a meetup of WikiClubWest in Perth at the location of the former Esplanade.

Contributions, and materials relative to the former sites and the newer constructions will be collected, photographs from the 2010s following the construction of the Quay, not yet uploaded to commons will be accepted as relevant components of the collection, and are considered within scope.

Photos will be added to commons:Category:Wikipedia takes Elizabeth Quay.
