Long abstractThe National Museum of Australia in Canberra records and interprets Australian social, Aboriginal and environmental history. As a curator and environmental historian employed by the Museum, my role is to foster understandings of hu-man lives within the contexts of dynamic ecological systems. The National Museum is responsible for making sense of interactions between people and the rest of nature, and has a significant role to play in helping Australians grapple with the meanings of the profound climatic and ecological chang-es that define our time, the Anthropocene. What historically and culturally determined ways of thinking and acting have generated anthropogenic climate change? What habits of thought and perception continue to block effective responses? Might we locate hopeful ways of thinking and acting to build social and ecological resilience as we enter an uncertain and difficult future? What under-standings and possibilities emerge if we turn towards the local and to the material? These questions underlay The Wa-terhole Project, a research initiative that explores the mean-ings of climate change in relation to the ecological and social realities of a particular place called Combaning.
