AUSTRALIANA

 The Westpac Group celebrated its bicentenary on 8 April 2017 with this stunningly produced book that traces Westpac’s development over the past two centuries. The Bank of NSW (which became the Westpac Group) was the first bank established in Australia.

“It’s a story of entrepreneurialism, growth, resilience, overcoming setbacks, and adaptation. Above all, it’s a story of individuals-who had a dream, had a go, confronted challenges, dusted themselves off, and kept going.”
