Boemerang, Australia - The Netherlands 400 years
This is the English version of the Boemerang magazine. A one-off edition to celebrate the four hundred year old ties between the Netherlands and Australia.
Shared heritage with Australia
Why are there so many place names of Dutch origin on the Australian West Coast? And are there really 300,000 Australians with Dutch roots? This magazine highlights the ties between the Netherlands and Australia from a heritage perspective: from shipwrecks to coffee. The shared heritage - the material and immaterial traces of a common past - is fully discussed.
This publication is also available in Dutch.
