LORD M AY O R FOREWORD

CELEBRATE WITH US AND BRING HISTORY TO LIFE! In its 11th year and featuring more than 130 events and activities, Heritage Perth Weekend is brought to you by the City of Perth. This program will inspire you to come and experience Perth’s amazing natural, cultural and built heritage. We are certainly spoilt for choice when it comes to places and stories of significance in the city.

This weekend gives us a chance to delve deeper into our heritage with informative walks, talks, storytelling, interactive workshops, exhibitions and immersive experiences to explore. New events shine a light on our multicultural and Aboriginal history, including truth‑telling yarns from Whadjuk Nyoongar Elders and fun activities from the Chung Wah Association, just to name a couple from the many free events on offer.

I am excited to announce the introduction of Family Friday, dedicated to families to experience our city’s rich past together. Coming from Greek heritage, I’m looking forward to bringing my young family along so that all of us can enjoy and learn more about our wonderful city. I look forward to seeing you all there!

I WELCOME YOU ALL TO BOORLOO KWEDJANG BARDIP YANGINY (PERTH OLD STORY SHARING).

This is an opportunity for all to come and engage with Nyoongar culture in the heart of Boorloo. My culture, Nyoongar Culture, is about stories – stories told to our children who learn our lore and culture. For our youth, it is about guiding them along in life. Our family is an extended family where we all come together, sit down, tell stories and share.

In this year’s three‑day program, I invite you to bring along your extended families and take part in all the events on offer. Get the kids to paint and yarn with Djurandi Dreaming, or take part in Bindi Bindi Dreaming’s Aboriginal cooking classes and learn about our wonderful traditional bush foods. Come and sit around the sacred campfire at Mata Gerup with Moordity Bridyas Uncle Ben Taylor and Aunty Margaret Culbong who will tell you about the importance of this land to us. Come and hear our voice sharing our stories with you.

Perth’s cultural identity is living, breathing and evolving.

It is woven through our built, natural and social landscapes. With the guidance of the Bridyas (Elders/ bosses) we have introduced dual naming for this event to reflect the importance of the cultural heritage of the Whadjuk Nyoongar peoples of Boorloo (Perth).

This program of events celebrates the many stories of our capital and its neighbourhoods. We hope these cultural events help create a better understanding of our shared history and the community we live in. Boorloo Kwedjang Baradip Yanginy – Perth Old Story Sharing.

In its 11th year, this weekend will shine a light on Perth City’s history. The weekend features the telling and re‑telling of stories, enthralling history and heritage walks, behind the scenes tours of iconic and curious heritage buildings, children’s activities and exhibitions.

This year we are proud to announce an additional offering – Family Friday on 16th April. This day gives special focus on activities that support children and families to explore, learn and experience our City’s fascinating past together, encouraging the next generation of cultural heritage champions.

We welcome everyone to enjoy the events on offer and to share in the stories of the past with friends and family.

Enjoy!

We are delighted to welcome Traditional Owner, Kerry‑Ann Winmar, Nyungar Tours, who has a strong family history of ancient customs and traditions in Beeloo (Perth) and Kaarta Gar‑up (Kings Park). Kerry Ann will present Yorga Mia – Women’s Business, sharing ancient knowledge of the bush that was passed down to her for generations.

We also welcome the Chung Wah Association, who extend a warm invitation for visitors to learn about early Chinese history in Perth and Western Australia.

The Association was formed in 1910 to support the social welfare of its members, promote Chinese culture and foster goodwill between the Chinese and local community.

Bring your family and take part in the whole day of cultural activities, workshops and exhibitions they have on offer on Family Friday.

CircusWA is another exciting new presenter with young performers to take you on a trip back to the popular circus days of Perth in the 1920s, giving us all the chance to experience the shenanigans of the old circus spectacles.

You can turn up at any time to many of these events, including ‘Perth Wasn’t Built in a Day – Sensational Surveying, a life without limits’.

Presented by the WA Institution of Surveyors, these interactive workshops at Cathedral Square invite families to experience firsthand the old methods surveyors used for the surveys of the Perth townsite in the 1880s.

Bindi Bindi Dreaming will be cooking up a storm in the Perth Town Hall, offering intergenerational traditional bush cooking classes for the whole family, gathering to share the meal at the end.

Western Power is presenting family workshops for the first time where you can discover how the energy industry plays a critical part in the development of the city in ‘Innovating the electricity grid, past, present and future’.

The recently refurbished His Majesty’s Theatre will be holding behind the scenes tours and activities where visitors can explore staging technology used to make magic happen.

With so many events on offer on Family Friday there is something for everyone to take delight from.

Offering a new perspective on our heritage that you won't read in history books.

THE MYSTICAL WORLD BEHIND PERTH’S HERITAGE

LADIES OF THE NIGHT – SEX WORKERS IN OLD PERTH

Gothic: not just heavy eyeliner, but also recreations of medieval buildings. On an entertaining walk, discover how second‑guessing God’s favourite architectural style got tangled with race and colonialism.

All this, with the opportunity to admire some of our finest heritage places. And find out which university the Creator prefers.
