Nerding over fish specimens collected, preserved and illustrated by Robert Neill from Menang country (Albany), West. Aust. in 1841 at NHM as part of our #entangledknowledges project through @arc_gov_au Thanks to @beardiddley for welcoming us.
It was such a privilege to see this portfolio of some of the earliest ichthyological studies from West Aust. But it is so much more than that - our diverse team are uncovering rich Menang knowledge, anthropological and historical stories embedded in it #entangledknowledges

My article on @AustPolicyHist - Ignorance about the Federation is particularly noticeable in the ‘eastern states’, where the interests of the big guns of the Federation, New South Wales and Victoria, are often conflated with those of the Commonwealth. https://t.co/fQUQivnWqa
