The Wadjemup Surf Exhibition was launched on Rottnest Island on Friday 8 December 2023.
This newest exhibition at Wadjemup Museum offers an opportunity to explore the essence of surfing on Wadjemup and what makes catching a wave in the island’s marine sanctuaries so unique.
The exhibition is located at the Wadjemup Museum, in the Old Mill & Hay Store building.
