Archaeology

The Western Australian Museum, on behalf of a broad partnership, has won a prestigious Museums and Galleries National Award for international best practice in research for work on some of Australia’s earliest shipwrecks.

An update of research findings from the Weld Range in Wajarri Yamatji country will be presented at a public lecture next week at the Western Australian Museum – Geraldton.

Weld Range, near Cue in the Murchison region, is highly significant for the Wajarri Yamatji Traditional Owners.
