Embark on a nostalgic journey from sea to suburbia through 4 decades of photographs capturing the people, places and daily life of Western Australia.

Relish in iconic scenes of Western Australia: sunny beaches, scenic suburbs, thriving industries and meandering rivers. Be challenged by images that illustrate our changing attitudes to the environment and urban development. Leave with a new understanding of what it means to be a 'West Australian'.

Highlighting the role of Australian government photographers in preserving our visual heritage, this fascinating exhibition will evoke memories and spark conversations.

Drop in during April for History whodunnit, a self-led Cluedo-style mystery game within the exhibition!
