Today’s episode follows the global connections to Albany’s stories and shares how these stories are coming home today. Entangled Knowledges is a locally-driven international research project that is rediscovering and reinterpreting museum collections by bringing living cultures into the mix. It's combining colonially curated material from UK museum collections with knowledge and insights from Menang Noongar cultural custodians and community members.

Today we are in the deep south of WA in a regional centre which has been known by many names across history; Kinjarling, Frederick's Town, Albany, we're here to understand what is in a name? How has the coastal city of Albany been influenced by its place alongside the Southern Ocean and what can be learned from this place’s history as we move into its bicentennial year of 2026 and beyond?

This episode takes place on the shores of Eclipse Island, a small, uninhabited parcel of land 17 kilometres south of Albany. Situated at the mouth of Memang Koort, the Menang Noongar name for Albany’s welcoming natural harbour, Eclipse Island was once a brutal playground for gangs of sealers and later a secluded home for lighthouse keepers and their families.
