About

oin us at the historic Northam Army Camp for a powerful day of storytelling, reflection, and shared heritage. This unique event brings to life the experiences of displaced persons and migrants who first arrived in Australia carrying the legacies of war, forced labour and displacement.
Through personal narratives, historical insights and discussion. The children of these survivors reclaim and share stories that shaped their families and this significant site.
Set on ground layered with military, POW, migrant, and contemporary histories The event explores themes of memory, belonging, and identity. Presentations from historians, researchers and community voices are complemented by interactive sessions, panel discussions,
and a heritage trail, offering multiple ways to engage with the past.
This is more than a history event—it is an opportunity to listen, connect, and better understand the intergenerational impact of migration. Open to all, the day invites reflection on how these stories continue to shape our communities.
