Division of Forrest

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Division of Forrest is an Australian Electoral Division in Western Australia. The division was created in 1922 and is named for Sir John Forrest, the first Premier of Western Australia and a federal Cabinet minister. It is located in the south-western corner of the state, including the towns of Bunbury, Busselton, Collie and Harvey. Before 1943 it was a Country Party seat, but since 1949 it has usually been held by the Liberal Party.
