Changes

Transforming landscapes

Western Australia has been continuously evolving for millennia, but how has human activity impacted its current environment?

This exhibition explores the cultural, economic and social impacts of human engagement on our world.

Share the knowledge of Australia’s first peoples in their management and nurturing of the land.  Understand how the limitations and abundance of resources has shaped and created communities. Consider how decisions we make today determine our future.

Debate and discuss how we have adapted to our landscape—and how we have transformed it to suit us.
