Western Australia - An Historical Boast with Richard Offen
About
Western Australia – An Historical BoastWestern Australians do not seem keen to boast about the history of their State, in fact few residents realise that on their own doorsteps are many features and places of international historical significance.
Starting with fossils in the Pilbara and some of the earliest evidence of Aboriginal communal living, to the remains of a fort on the Abrolhos Islands, Richard Offen’s talk will give a virtual tour of some of the places that give Western Australian a very special status
in the world’s history. Add to this some of the early buildings of the Swan River Colony, set up in 1829, and Richard will comprehensively debunk the myth that Western Australia has no history or heritage!
