Challenge: A Story of 150 Years: A Travelling Exhibition from the Western Australian Museum by David Hutchison

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Ex library copy with external stickers and stamps on inside pages. Marks on covers. Body text and binding are still very good.

Booklet produced for the museum's travelling exhibition during Western Australia's bicentenary, about Western Australians and how they have made their way in a country so vastly different from the homelands of their forbears.

Early in the winter of 1829, a shipload of people was landed to establish a British colony on the western coast of Australia. The early settlers and those who followed knew both hard times and prosperity. The colony survived and became the state of Western Australia, which more than a million people now call home.
