WikiClubWest is the Western Australian branch of Wikimedia Australia. It originally started from Wikiproject:Perth on en.Wikipedia when regular contributors decided to meet in person at the State Library of Western Australia on 1st February 2007. It would late become more formalised as the WA branch of Wikimedia Australia, following the development of the NT WikiClub it adopted the name WikiClubWest.
