We experience place by moving through it, with all our senses alive to its shifting shapes and moods. This sense of place is created through the entanglements of nature and culture.

At the Shark Bay World Heritage Discovery Centre, see how Shark Bay fish nurseries turn into salt evaporation ponds, pastoral stations become conservation reserves, fences to keep sheep in are replaced with feral-proof barriers to keep them out, homesteads become resorts, pearling grounds become marine parks, fishing boats cast nets for tourists rather than fish.

Hamelin Pool has had a colourful and changeful history. The area was called Bolagoorda by the Malgana, who skimmed fresh water from beach wells along the pool edges.

Do you know who named Hamelin Pool in 1802? At the Shark Bay World Heritage Discovery Centre you can find out, along with:

• The history of the telegraph poles still standing along the Carbla coast.
• How long Aboriginal people have lived on Peron Peninsula, called Wulyibidi in the Malgana language.
• The effects of pastoralism on the natural environment.
