As part of its ongoing program for the Curtin family home at 22 Jarrad St Cottesloe, the National Trust of Australia (WA) has asked Crow media to plan a heritage/walk trail that uses new technologies to explore the lives of war-time Prime Minister John Curtin and his family during their time living in Cottesloe. The trail will ultimately deliver photographs, text, audio and video via the mobilephone network and the internet.

We’re looking to make the content relevant to the Australian Curriculum and we’d appreciate your help with an online survey. It shouldn’t take any longer than 10 -15 minutes, and you can access it via the link below. Thank you very much for taking the time to help with this exciting new development.
