Pinjarra Massacre Memorial

The Pinjarra Massacre Memorial exhibition showed how arts can break boundaries and a small town's history can reach a large audience.

Through research over many years, extensive information was accumulated about the massacre of the Bindjareb Nyungars at the hands of a group led by Governor James Stirling in October 1834 in the small WA town of Pinjarra. This subject was one of the most significant issues in the town for many years and through the research, continued observance of a memorial day and grass roots development ideas, this project concept emerged.
