1 1 y separately published work icon That Was My Home : Voices from the Noongar Camps in Fremantle and the Western Suburbs Denise Cook , Nedlands : UWA Publishing , 2019 16730671 2019 multi chapter work prose

'That Was My Home explores the hidden histories of the Noongar camps around Fremantle, Swanbourne and Shenton Park in the suburbs of Perth along the Swan River. The focus is the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, a time when many Noongar people lived with their families in camps. 

The voices of Noongar people, juxtaposed with information from the archives, photographs and stories from others in the community, tell of life in the camps, work, cross-cultural tensions and friendships. Together they give a greater understanding of the shared histories of our suburbs. The author followed Aboriginal cultural protocols in obtaining permission to include stories, photos and other information.'

1 y separately published work icon "That Was My Home" : Voices from the Noongar Camps in Perth's Western Suburbs Denise Cook , Murdoch : 2016 10075145 2016 single work thesis

'Many Noongar people lived in camps throughout the Perth metropolitan area until the 1950s, or even later. These camps, which are relatively unknown in the wider community, are an important part of the shared history of our suburbs. An essential part of researching in this area is following Aboriginal cultural protocols. The ways in which cross-cultural research is undertaken are just as important as the information that is uncovered. ...' (Source: Abstract Research Repository, Murdoch University)
