Peppermint Grove Who's Who
Public Profile
Coach Aza
For us, it begins with water, with a story, and with a slash (/).
The slash is more than just a symbol —
It’s a lifeline. A current.
A reminder that we are not separate, but with.
With the game. With the land. With each other.
With those who came before, and those who are yet to come.
This is the story of the WaterBros and SistaFlo/Ws.
We are not athletes. Not influencers.
We are witnesses.
Grassroots storytellers.
The ones who show up —
to carry water, to run lines, to capture moments in the dirt,
on the edge of the field, in the heat of the grind.
We are the unseen force that has always been there.
Every splash of hydration, every call from the boundary,
every pep talk at halftime, every parent on the fence.
We move with the game,
we carry the Flo/W.
Our symbol, the slash ( / ), is inspired by the tail of the stingray —
graceful and powerful, protective and precise.
It slashes through time, connecting the old with the new,
ceremony with sport, the sacred with the everyday.
It is the mark we wear, and the rhythm we follow.
And @ —
the spiral, the body, the wings, the eye, the echo of everything.
We don’t just tag it. We live it.
It captures presence. Attention. Connection.
Where we are @/
As a Culture.
As Individuals.
As Community.
Together, @/ become more than brand marks.
They are ceremonial signs.
Markings of a movement.
Signals of belonging.
This is not just a campaign.
It is a resurrection.
A global storytelling movement led by those who stand
in the shadows of the game, and shine light from the sidelines.

Distinguished and Famous people from Peppermint Grove
🏡 Neil McNeil
Neil McNeil made his home at The Cliffe in Peppermint Grove after a career in railway construction and the Western Australian timber industry. Built largely of jarrah, the house also demonstrated his confidence in the material he promoted commercially. The family’s grounds became a setting for social gatherings and wartime Red Cross activity. His wider interests included water-supply works, mining investments and fruit growing. The local residence brings those ventures back to a particular place overlooking Freshwater Bay, where an industrialist’s preferred building timber became an unusually substantial form of advertisement.
📐 Charles Crossland, George Leake and Alexander Forrest
Surveyor Charles Crossland, lawyer George Leake and explorer and businessman Alexander Forrest joined in purchasing the land that became Peppermint Grove in 1887. Subdivision work followed, with a surveyor in Crossland’s office laying out building allotments before the partners’ registration in 1891. The partnership helps explain the transition from an older landholding to a planned suburb. Its legacy lies in the lots and streets on which later residents built, as well as in the better-known public careers of the men involved.
⚖️ Sir Lawrence Jackson
Lawrence Jackson and his wife Mary settled in Forrest Street, Peppermint Grove, after moving to Perth at the end of 1937. His uncle, who lived across the road, had offered him work in a legal practice. From that beginning he rose to the Supreme Court bench and became Western Australia’s chief justice in 1969. He also served as university chancellor and led organisations concerned with cricket and heritage. The Peppermint Grove connection is an actual family home at the start of his Western Australian career, when an uncle’s offer of employment opened possibilities that Sydney had not provided.
🎾 Keith Barker
Keith Barker grew up at Chanonry, his family’s large home in Peppermint Grove. In 1917 he was commended for rescuing two girls from the river near the house. He became a successful sportsman and businessman, winning tennis doubles titles and serving as a golf and tennis administrator. Later, family photographs left to him by his mother encouraged an interest in local history. He used them in reminiscences for local newspapers, preserving another view of the suburb he knew as a boy. His connection combines childhood, an early rescue and a later contribution to the district’s remembered history.
