Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.

The random article for Friday, 6 August 2021 is Peel Estate.

The Peel Estate was an area of land in the south of Perth, Western Australia, predominantly in what is now the City of Kwinana, City of Rockingham and the Shire of Serpentine–Jarrahdale. The estate twice featured prominently in Western Australian history.

In the early days of colonial Western Australia, then the Swan River Colony, the large land grant awarded to Thomas Peel became known as the Peel Estate. In the 1830s, Peel attempted to populate the estate with European settlers and turn it into a successful agricultural region but the venture failed.

The Peel Estate featured a second time in the states history 80 years later when it was part of the assisted migration Group Settlement Scheme, which operated in Western Australia from the early 1920s. Like its predecessor, this venture was also a failure, with most settlers abandoning the estate because of the low quality of the land which was, for the most part, unsuitable for the intent of the scheme, dairy farming. The failure and cost of the Peel Estate Group Settlement Scheme eventually became the subject of a Royal Commission.

This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:35 UTC on Friday, 6 August 2021.
