The Kodja Place was made possible by all the help received from within and beyond the Kojonup community: the art & science of video production; helpers assemble at the Opening Day ceremony; the local builder & team members appreciate the architect’s mentoring with the display construction. Photos: left & right by Penny Young; middle The Kodja Place collection.
