See WA before it was WA Experience WA through the eyes of the first European explorers and colonists

The first European explorers and settlers viewed Western Australia and its spectacular coast as an “unknown land”.  Of course, it was no such thing – Aboriginal people had owned the land for thousands of years and were quickly in conflict with the imperialists. Whatever their motives – colonist, invader, explorer, settler, adventurer – the Europeans were awestruck by the land we now call Western Australia – and the opportunities it presented.
