Description

Layer Warning:
This layer contains names of people who have passed.
Rising sea levels separated Rottnest Island (Wadjemup) and mainland WA approx. 7000 years ago. Up until this point, it had been inhabited by Aboriginal people Wadjemup means "place across the water where the spirits are." Artefacts found on the island date back to 6500 - 30,000 years ago, with some recent evidence from 1999 possibly suggesting human occupation of the island as far back as 70,000BP.
