John Stephen Maley

John Stephen Maley (5 April 1839 – 28 December 1910) was a pioneering settler of the Mid West region of Western Australia.

Maley also assisted Richard Jewell with his rebuilding of The Causeway, which was the main river crossing in Perth at the time.

He caused a stir at the official opening ceremony in 1867, interrupting the speech of the governor, John Hampton, and galloping over the bridge on horseback in order to be the first across.

Earlier in the 1860s, Maley had been granted land at Greenough, the centre of Western Australia's burgeoning wheat-growing district.

His daughter Mary Martha Maley (became Farrelly) was a leading figure and a noted advocate for wholemeal wheat.
