Layer Warning:

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

Geraldton is described by Aboriginal people as a magnet, it hangs on to people with the Grey and the Nannup families establishing many generations. Elder Robbie Ronan describes the area: “This area was full of life, the sea, the waterways and the grasslands. My Grandfather, who was the last lawman, used to allow people to come. There was an old people (ancestors) whose run used to come here in the summer. They would bring kangaroo and emu meat and trade it for crays and other fish.”
