Strehlow Research Centre

I visited the Strehlow Research Centre back in the summer of 2016. I'd flown into Uluru (Alice Springs) the day before and spent the next day exploring the town and its environs by foot. I couldn't believe my luck when I found myself on Larapinta Drive and recognised the name TGH Strehlow on the front of an impressive building. Years before, I'd written about Strehlow, and I'd spoken with the Canadian anthropologist David H. Turner about Strehlow's work. And now, here I was in this fantastic research centre bearing his name. The centre is filled with a wonderful collections of archival records, film, sound, and other artefacts related to Aboriginal culture. I was privileged to be able to chat with the director there at the time and one of the Aboriginal researchers. This is one of Australia's national treasures.
