     The Parliament of Western Australia enacts as follows:

             Preamble
             Whereas:
              A. The 1st of June in 1829 was the day when the first
                   European settlers, under the command of Captain James
 5                 Stirling RN, Lieutenant Governor, arrived from Britain
                   to settle the Swan River Colony; and
              B. Foundation Day, held on the first Monday of June each
                   year, is an important celebration of this event for
                   Western Australians; and
10            C. Foundation Day acknowledges our indigenous people as
                   the original inhabitants of the land and unites all who
                   have made Western Australia their home,


                                                                    page 1
