At the Ration Shed, we want visitors to experience what life was like for our people living under the Aboriginal Protection Act during much of the 20th century, and to share the many wonderful aspects of traditional Aboriginal culture and contemporary Cherbourg life. We want students to really understand the rich and varied history of this settlement and the people who live here.
We’ve developed some exciting interactive resources for all interests – including books, worksheets, videos, art objects, online photographic and oral history collections, onsite displays and exhibitions, guided tours and art workshops. Many of these have been developed specifically for use by schools as part of curriculum-based Indigenous studies.
These have been designed to be enjoyable, informative and educational.
We welcome school groups, university students and general visitors to the Ration Shed. If you can’t make it out to Cherbourg to see us, then go to www.rationshed.com.au and www.cherbourgmemory.org where you can join our community and access these resources.
