That Was My Home
That Was My Home explores the hidden histories of the Noongar camps around Fremantle, Swanbourne, and Shenton Park in the suburbs of Perth along the Swan River. The focus is the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, a time when many Noongar people lived with their families in camps.
The voices of Noongar people, juxtaposed with information from the archives, photographs, and stories from others in the community, tell of life in the camps, work, cross-cultural tensions, and friendships. Together, they provide a greater understanding of the shared histories of our suburbs. The author followed Aboriginal cultural protocols in obtaining permission to include stories, photos, and other information.
