Education
Come on a journey of discovery at the Museum of the Great Southern and share in the beauty and natural abundance of our Kinjarling – 'place of rain' and home of the Menang people.
Programs let you:
- Meet the local wildlife – different species of frogs, King’s Skinks and varied bird life within our grounds
- See the site where Menang people fished and cooked and where Western Australia was first proclaimed
- Learn about our rich maritime history, threatened species, traditional Menang life and the amazing marine habitats of our southern seas
