Search the Welcome Walls

At the Museum of the Great Southern in Albany, the Welcome Walls stand as a powerful tribute to the many migrants who began their Australian journey here. These panels honor the courage and determination of those who made Albany their first stop in a new land.

Visitors can explore the names etched into these walls, each representing a unique story of hope and aspiration. Families and individuals who arrived by sea were often driven by dreams of a better future, contributing richly to the fabric of Australian society.

You can search for specific names or simply absorb the collective history. These walls are more than just names; they are a testament to the diverse journeys that have shaped this region and beyond. It’s a place to reflect on the shared experiences that connect us all.
