Sea to suburbia: Western Australia in photographs

Embark on a nostalgic journey from sea to suburbia through four 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.
 
All public areas of the National Archives are wheelchair accessible. Visitors with recognised assistance animals, including guide and hearing dogs, are welcome.
