# Western Australia

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that this archive contains images, names and voices of people who have died. A third of a continent, told through what can be looked at. The oldest known fragment of the Earth's crust is a zircon grain from the Jack Hills, and people have been living here for at least forty seven thousand years by the securely dated evidence at Karnatukul, redated at the request of the native title holders. Then Dutch ships hitting the coast in the dark, a colony that asked for convicts because it could not find labour, gold at Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie and a pipeline five hundred and thirty kilometres long, pearling luggers crewed by Japanese and Malay and Aboriginal divers, missions and prisons and an island that was a gaol, eight hundred Aboriginal pastoral workers who walked off the stations in 1946 and stayed out for three years, iron ore trains, and rock shelters blown up in 2020. The hard parts are here because they are the record. Aboriginal presence is not a chapter in this archive; it runs through all ten of its parts.

## Eras

- **The Coast**, Everything on the water. The Batavia's timbers and its stone portico, Dutch wreck sites off the Abrolhos and the Zuytdorp Cliffs, Broome's pearling luggers and hard-hat diving dress and the Japanese cemetery, cyclone-wrecked fleets, Fremantle's inner harbour, and the bulk carriers at Port Hedland and Dampier.
- **Wildlife**, Wildflowers and wildlife as photographed subjects. Kwongan in flower, Carnaby's black cockatoo, quokkas on Wadjemup, honey possums, whale sharks and humpbacks at Ningaloo, dugongs and turtles, the thylacine as it survives in the Murujuga petroglyphs, the rabbits the fence was built against, and bleached coral.
- **Missions and Prisons**, The architecture of control. The Quod on Wadjemup and its unmarked burial ground, Fremantle Prison's limestone, the Moore River Native Settlement, Carrolup, Oombulgurri, neck chains and police camps. This facet carries the hard history and is not softened or folded into anything else. Photographs made by these institutions say so in the caption: they were made by the administrators, not by the people pictured.
- **Work**, Labour as a visible thing. Aboriginal skin divers and hard-hat divers at Broome, Japanese and Koepanger crews, stockmen and station workers, prospectors with dry-blowers and camels, the fence gangs who built the rabbit-proof fence, asbestos workers at Wittenoom, and drill crews and truck drivers in high visibility. This is where Aboriginal labour is visible rather than only Aboriginal policy.
- **Land**, The land itself as a visible thing. Zircon-bearing conglomerate at the Jack Hills, which holds the oldest known fragment of the Earth's crust, banded iron in the Hamersley, the Bungle Bungle domes and their living stripes, the Pinnacles, Wave Rock, the Nullarbor, kwongan heath, karri and jarrah, Ningaloo's fringing reef, and the stromatolite pillars at Hamelin Pool. This is the floor the rest of the archive stands on.
- **Mining**, The extractive built environment. Alluvial diggings and dry-blowers at Coolgardie, poppet heads on the Golden Mile, the Super Pit, Mount Whaleback and Tom Price, Wittenoom Gorge and its blue tailings, the Argyle diamond mine, and the Juukan Gorge blast site. Aboriginal presence here is largely reported rather than authored: land councils do not publish mine footage and mining companies do, and that asymmetry is part of what this facet shows.
- **Towns**, Where people lived. Noongar and Martu camps and shelters, tent cities on the goldfields, the monumental empty streets of Coolgardie, pastoral homesteads and station quarters, Group Settlement shacks in the karri, Wittenoom degazetted and demolished, fly-in dongas and camp mess halls, and Perth growing out of the boom.
- **Rock Art**, Rock art and engraved surfaces as physical objects: the Murujuga petroglyphs on the Burrup, inscribed as World Heritage in 2025, Gwion Gwion and Wandjina figures in the Kimberley, Mulka's Cave, Walga Rock. What can be shown here is limited by protocol rather than by searching. Restricted and ceremonial material is excluded, unsignposted site locations are not published, and Wandjina images appear only where the custodians published them.
- **Protest**, People acting. The 1946 Pilbara strikers, who walked off the stations on the first of May and stayed out for three years under Dooley Bin Bin, Clancy McKenna and Don McLeod. The Noonkanbah blockade of 1980, where no oil was found and the Yungngora later won native title. Save Ningaloo, Back to Pinjarra Day, the Juukan Gorge hearings, the Yagan repatriation, and Sorry Day.
- **Water**, Everything built to move, hold or cross water, and the water itself. Noongar wetlands and the Derbarl Yerrigan, soaks and gnamma holes, Mundaring Weir and the pipeline that runs five hundred and thirty kilometres to the goldfields, station tanks and windmills, the Ord scheme and Lake Argyle, and the salt scalds left by clearing the wheatbelt.

### 1905
- **1905**, Mid-day-halt-cattle-droving-in-the-nor-west-coyarre. Cattle and horses stopped by a water soak, edged with eucalypts.

### 1906
- **1906**, St John's Church and the Fremantle Town Hall, 1906. St John's in Fremantle and the Perth churches mark the two original centres of the colony.

- **1909**, Fremantle Prison 1909 The tailors' workroom. The tailors' workroom, where prisoners made the clothing the establishment issued. The colonists asked for transportation on the argument that the pastoral sector faced collapse without labour. Historians have since found the colony was oversupplied with labour and that capital and markets were the real constraint. The photograph was made by the institution, not by the people pictured.

- **1909**, Fremantle Prison 1909 The bootmakers' workshop. The bootmakers' shop, one of the trades worked under sentence here. Royal Engineers began the prison in 1851, training convicts to quarry the limestone it is built from, so the building is made of the ground it stands on.

### 1910
- **1910**, Derbarl Yerrigan / Swan River Rowing Club. The population went from 49,782 in 1891 to 184,124 in 1901, the largest demographic event in the colony's history. The colony was founded on 17 June 1829 under Captain James Stirling, and deliberately as a free settlement rather than a penal one.

Hard-hat diving from the 1880 s shifted the workforce to indentured Asian labour, and by 1901 Japanese divers made up 943 of 998 workers.

A long walk-through of the Golden Pipeline route from Mundaring Weir toward Kalgoorlie, following the surviving pump stations and steel main.

- **2026-06-25**, More than 2 billion years of shearing along the western margin of the Yilgarn Craton. A Geological Survey of Western Australia talk on more than two billion years of shearing along the western margin of the Yilgarn Craton. Craton margins are where old continental blocks were welded to one another, and the shear zones record the motion. The same structures control where much of the state's gold sits.

A history of Kalgoorlie, located in 1893 by Paddy Hannan, Tom Flanagan and Dan Shea at Mount Charlotte. Hannan is the one with the statue but he was not alone, and the three men's find opened the Golden Mile.

- **2026-08-09**, Dr John L Black demonstrates how industrial emissions are degrading the Murujuga rock art. Dr John L Black presents evidence to Friends of Australian Rock Art on how industrial emissions degrade the Murujuga engravings. A 2024 monitoring programme report found air quality good to very good; Professor Ben Smith rejected that reading of the findings and statistician Adrian Baddeley said early warning thresholds had been removed from the graphs. The dispute is scientific and was live when this lecture was given.
