A continuing exercise on the documenting of the dominating colour of red always in my visual landscape, these images taken from Wagin Heritage Museum.

Visit to Wagin Heritage Village

Flour Bag Tent

I need to see more of these giant emblems of places in Australia

Lots of lovely shelves of left over bygone grocery products

and drug store pharmaceuticals.

Local dressmakers shop

Wagin Village Tea Room

Handmade washing sink

Mud brick settlers house



This really is a fascinating place and worth a look on our travels in WA. For many years, the community have been collecting their history from the local shops and businesses, schools and public services, and tell the visual history of settlement through everyday objects collected and donated.
They have moved entire buildings such as the wooden school, memorial hall and fire station, or rebuilt them. We spent a great afternoon there with friendly hospitality.
