Reliquiarum nihil sine peregrinis - Without Relics there are No Pilgrims
Since our first expedition in 2013, The PastMasters has grown as an informal association of heritage professionals and knowledgeable associates - drawn from across the wide scientific and geographical realms by common interests in exploration of Australia's past and most particularly the proto-historical contact with foreign voyagers that permeates traditional cultural teachings. Our guiding methodology is to work with Aboriginal people to combine oral history records with western scientific process - in a shared-learning 'history making' experience.
