Connections
Our place in the world
Have you ever seen a King Penguin egg from Antarctica, or the giant Madagascan Elephant Bird egg found at Cervantes in 1992, dating to 2000 BP?
They were delivered here by the Indian Ocean, which also brings people and product, for business and pleasure, by choice and circumstance.
One third of Western Australians have come from somewhere else but remain connected to the world and each other through culture, religion, food, geography and technology.
Uncover evocative stories that accompany the personal artefacts of those seeking safety from persecution and conflict, and others looking for opportunity in a new place.
You can pick up and feel the weight of oppressive leg irons and chains of the convicts forced to build the Swan River Colony.
Gain an understanding of how geopolitical relationships and allegiances changed the lives of West Australians who went to war, and what happened when the Second World War came to Broome.
Links once forged through invasion, colonisation and conflict, now continue through constructive relationships based on migration, trade, tourism and defence.
