Water Stories come to life at Mount Flora Regional Museum

Explore thousands of years of history in Water Stories, a new exhibit at Mount Flora Regional Museum in Watermans Bay.
Learn how changing water use has shaped the landscape, industries, people, culture and identity of the City of Stirling.
Discover stories including Kep Katitjin – Indigenous water knowledge, traditional water use and fish traps, shipwrecks, whaling, droving, market gardens, beach and surf culture, sustainability and more.
Visit the Mount Flora Regional Museum, which is housed inside a historic water tank located in Watermans Bay between the Indian Ocean and Star Swamp, every Wednesday from April onwards between 10.00am – 4.00pm. Entry is a gold coin donation.
- Accessibility: The museum site is wheelchair accessible, but the mezzanine floor and the rooftop have stair access only.
