Shaping Perth: the stories of our city

We've collaborated with the Museum of Perth on an amazing interactive exhibit.  

Listening to a cross section of stories of Perth’s people is a reminder that despite changes to the city’s landscape, certain fundamental characteristics of the people of Perth remain unchanged. Whether a story from the turn of the century or though to the last few years, the ability of Perth people to make a mark on the city is reflected throughout the stories we share. Ours is a history of pioneering, sharing, serving and pushing boundaries.  The twelve storytellers provide just one snapshot of this fascinating place we call home.
