Q&A WITH AUTHOR RYAN BUTTA
To celebrate the Boundless Plains exhibition in Springvale, join us for a discussion with Sherene Hassan, Director of Community Engagement, Islamic Museum of Australia and Ryan Butta,
author of The Ballad of Abdul Wade, which tells the true story of Australia’s unsung pioneering heroes, the Afghan Cameleers.

Explore photographs captured during a contemporary expedition across Australia in 2011. The aptly named Boundless Plains expedition was initiated by Moustafa Fahour OAM, founder of the Islamic Museum of Australia. This journey saw Moustafa and three friends travel the country, chronicling Australia's rich Muslim history. From Marree, in far north South Australia and the site of Australia’s first mosque, built by Afghan Cameleers, to Arnhem Land, Broome and beyond, a collection of the resulting images are highlighted in this photographic exhibition, presented by the Islamic Museum, in collaboration with the Greater City of Dandenong.
