Kim will be giving a talk at the Eastern Goldfields Historical Society on the Explorer Diaries Project he is involved in - All the Explorers.

“The Western Australian Explorers’ Diaries Project is a bold, successful initiative by a dedicated band of volunteers to make available the reports and journals of all Western Australian exploration from 1826 through to the present.

These reports and journals are published as Western Australian Exploration - a must for modern day explorers and travellers, and anyone interested in the discovery and naming of places and features in Western Australia. The diaries, letters and reports of exploration have proved to be useful sources for modern research historians and especially those engaged in heritage matters and native title history. For those who wish to retrace the routes of the first explorers these volumes are an essential reference.”

A fascinating field of research into explorers in Western Australia, not just the Eastern Goldfields. The talk will be at the EGHS on Wednesday the 25th September 2024 from 7pm.
