Roll up, roll up! The final month of the 2012 Harry Butler Lecture Series: In the Wild West is upon us and boy oh boy have we got an action packed line-up in store for you!
Ever wondered what it’d be like to operate an underwater vehicle, see the underwater JIM suit made famous by the James Bond film ‘For Your Eyes Only’, or Immerse your children after a long day of school holiday fun? Come on down to the Resources Pavilion at the Perth Royal Show and find out!
There’s something for everyone in the September Harry Butler Lecture Series: In the Wild West line-up - from wildlife wonderlands, shipwrecks, and a 19th century sword, to DIY treasure care, and dinosaurs.
Another great line-up of In the Wild West lectures is planned for July, kicking off with Dr Bill Humphreys’ ‘Downunder down under: collection in the dark zone’ at the WA Maritime Museum on Friday 6 July at 6pm (Please note, this lecture will now be presented by Dr Mark Harvey, Head of Terrestrial Zoology).
The 2012 Harry Butler Lecture Series: In the Wild West had a fantastic start early last month with the series namesake Dr Harry Butler presenting ‘Museum collectors and carer: one collector’s story’ at the Maritime Museum in Fremantle. The audience received a rare insight into the skills and experience Harry has accrued over his 60 years of field research. Harry will present the lecture in Karratha on July 25, and Albany on November 15 and 16.

The Western Australian Museum — Albany was proud to be associated with creation of this documentary, and invite you to see this piece about Albany's iconic Dog Rock.
