JUST ADD WATER: SCHEMES & DREAMS FOR A SUNBURNT COUNTRY

Water. Not a day goes by when we don’t think about it, talk about it, drink it, or in some cases pray for it. It’s a valuable resource. In Australia, we’ve stored more in dams per person than any other country. We’ve piped it, pumped it, and even dragged it down from the clouds, becoming a nation of plumbers in the process. This National Archives of Australia Exhibition taps into their vast collection to present this travelling exhibition which examines our historical relationship with water.
