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.

Towards Geraldton there are miles of shifting sands that were occupied for generations as Elder Joan Grey explains: “There are middens and burial sites all the way down the coast between Dongara and Geraldton. They (ancestors) would move up (go inland) in the winter, back in summer, chasing their food sources. They used to dig the land, making fields for tubers and grains, the earth in places around Eneabba and Dongara was supple and nurtured from thousands of years of digging. Recently a sand company helped itself and the hills have gone, along with human remains.”
