The project aims to create an engaging immersive 360 experience, based on extracts from Thomas and William’s Letters from Australia the 1860's, to illustrate their personal experiences and brings into context the everyday struggles and triumphs of ordinary people in society.
The Cornish Diaspora of the 19th century saw 250,000 people leave Cornwall, fleeing poverty and seeking opportunities across the globe. Approximately 10 percent of the population of South Australia, and over 3 percent of Australia as a whole, has significant Cornish ancestry and the settlement of the areas within of South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales are sometimes referred to as ‘Little Cornwall’
The project raises issues of contemporary significance and interest including, economic migration, industrial and social development, and provides the backdrop for discussion and awareness raising from a period with significant local and global historical relevance.
Letters from Australia has been supported through Real Ideas Organisation’s ‘Start Something Immersive’ scheme and aims to showcase the potential of their amazing, state of the art, Devonport Market Hall Dome facility to engage with audiences and develop an interest in local history and heritage based narratives.

We are really excited about working with RIO and to be part of a vibrant emerging 360 creative community.
The Devonport Market Hall dome is an amazing facility. The development of 360 degree and immersive visual content have made dramatic leaps in recent years and to have this facility on our doorstep will provide an amazing resource for the development of the creative industries in Plymouth and in the wider Southwest.
