The National Trust's May Lotterywest Heritage Conversation focused on our exhibition, 'Beneath the Bitumen: Discoveries from the Chinese Cemetery, East Perth'.

This Lotterywest Heritage Conversation took place at one of Perth's most treasured heritage places, East Perth Cemeteries, where the exhibition was on display at St Bartholomew's Church - just across the road from where the artefacts were found.

Watch to hear from archaeologists about the excavations and their discoveries and from other experts on the significance of these finds.

John Curtin’s use of Poetry in Australia’s Darkest Hour

13 April 2022

Curtin Family Home Lecture 2022 presented by Dr Toby Davidson.

Toby, a direct descendent of John and Elsie Curtin, spoke knowledgeably on the role that poetry played in John Curtin's life. From providing 'mental relief' during the challenges of his wartime Prime Ministership, to granting a point of connection with other literature-loving world leaders, poetry was integral to John Curtin's politics.
