City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Heritage Services - Making Home Under Southern Skies: Two Centuries of Chinese Heritage in Western Australia

“These stories are not side notes, not footnotes, not add-ons — they are part of the main story,” - Project co-lead, Associate Professor Yu Tao.

A unique project documenting the history of Chinese West Australians, from the 1830’s to the present day has recently been completed by the University of Western Australia’s School of Social Sciences, with support from the National Foundation for Australia-China Relations. This resulting exhibition seeks to reconnect audiences to two centuries of overlooked stories, uncovering a rich cultural and social heritage and revealing dynamic individual and community contributions that have helped shape the foundations of modern Western Australia.

Saturday 18 April to Saturday 25 July, 2026 | 10am to 4pm weekdays, 9am to 1pm Saturdays (closed public holidays)
Venue: Boulder Town Hall, 116 Burt Street, Boulder.
