As part of the National Trust Australian Heritage Festival in April, whose overall theme is ‘My Culture, My Story’, we are planning an exhibition of photographs and memorabilia to showcase and celebrate the diversity of cultures that have shaped our shared heritage on the Southern Mornington Peninsula.
At first count, we identified 14 different nationalities among past residents.
