Description

Layer Warning:

This layer contains historical information about Aboriginal people that may be distressing. It also contains names of people who have passed away.

There were a number of escape routes from the Moore River settlement, one was to jump the train at Muchea or Mogumber, but police and railway workers were on the lookout so it was often not successful. Robbie Ronan described: “My Uncle Thomas escaped from Mogumber with Uncle Arnold, they would have followed tracks north through Badjingara.” The route from Moore River to Geraldton, if walked, is a long way with little water. Places on the way are named for the resources that may be helpful. Cataby refers to mountain or hilly country of water that can be obtained for a drink.
