Congratulations to Denise Cook for the publication of ‘That Was My Home: Voices from the Noongar Camps in Fremantle and the Western Suburbs’

Congratulations to Denise Cook for the publication of That Was My Home: Voices from the Noongar Camps in Fremantle and the Western Suburbs (UWA Publishing, 2019). This work explores the histories of the Noongar camps around Fremantle, Swanbourne and Shenton Park in the suburbs of Perth, 1930s-1950s. The voices of the 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.
