The Western Australian Museum - Albany celebrates Western Australia’s unique natural and social history in a location that has witnessed a significant part of that story – The Amity Heritage Precinct. Aboriginal people call this place Kinjarling (“the place of rain”). For centuries the Menang peoples arrived at this site for the summer, returning from seasonal hunting further north.
Later the site became a gathering place of cultures and an arrival point for those settlers whose destination was Albany, for others who planned to settle in the region and for migrants to other parts of Western Australia who disembarked there.
