AUSTRALIA The Western Australian Museum's Maritime Archaeology Department, based at the WA Shipwrecks Museum, primarily researches shipwreck archaeology from the Western Australian coast. Its staff members are involved in developing artefact management and cataloguing strategies, outreach and wreck-access programs, site-inspection techniques, and studies of diverse maritime sites, such as iron ship archaeology and underwater aviation archaeology.
The collection and conservation of archaeological material recovered from historic shipwrecks found along the Western Australian coast led to the establishment of the WA Shipwrecks Museum, one of the few museums in the world with a specific focus on the preservation and display of maritime archaeological material.

Coogee underwater trail starfish by Kevin_edw2002 - 3D model
FROM NIC BIGOURDAN.... update on the Coogee trail Just a quick one to share the link to the interactive 3D model of the Sea star sculpture done last August: https://sketchfab.com/models/9a4604108c96430a9e7994b6f30fe797?utm_source=email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=model-shared MAAWA members in addition of having a booth during the Opening of the trail on the 26 of February where aspects of the MAAWA activity and links to the Omeo will be presented, they plan to do the 3D recording of the same feature (the Sea star sculpture) six months after the first one in order to produce a model hopefully on the day which might allow to show some evolution in the artificial reef colonisation process.

MADWAM'S FRENCH CONNECTION STUDIES ARE RAMPING UP UNDER NICOLAS BIGOURDAN WITH A VERY WELL-RECEIVED SEMINAR PRESENTED TO THE FRENCH-AUSTRALIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY. Myra Stanbury was a presenter also and our Director Diana Jones was also there. The question what would we have been like if the French had followed their annexation through using Phil McCarthy's cartoon from his visit to the Dirk Hartog Island annexation site a few years back.
