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 give a greater understanding of the shared histories of our suburbs.
The author followed Aboriginal cultural protocols in obtaining permission to include
