This exhibition tells the story of Western Australia from dinosaurs to indigenous beginnings and the environmental issues that our state faces today. Through the interaction between people, the land and the natural environment, this exhibition explores the impact each has had on the other. The Western scientific approach is compared with Aboriginal people’s ways of understanding and working the land. Be mesmerized by the 10-metre video montage of changing images of Western Australian land and people. Be amazed by the ferocious roar from the full-size model of the Carnataurus dinosaur. Presented in partnership with the WA Lotteries Commission.
