Curator Talk: Shipwrecks of the Wanneroo Coast

Beneath Wanneroo’s white beaches and calm blue waters lies a dramatic maritime past.

Join Wanneroo Regional Museum Curator for a fascinating illustrated talk exploring three of the most significant shipwrecks along the Wanneroo coast: the Eglinton, the Alex T. Brown, and one of Western Australia’s most famous and mysterious wrecks, the SS Alkimos.

Presented as part of the City of Wanneroo Heritage Roadshow.
