Australian Aboriginal people have lived in the Margaret River
region for more than 55,000 years. Their existence has been uncovered
in archeological digs in some of the local caves along the Leeuwin-Naturaliste
ridge.
Now, for the first time, their presence along the famous ridge
of land has been formally recognised with the opening of a centre
with the dual aims of education and protection of local Aboriginal
heritage.
The Wardandi people, who are the traditional owners of most
of the land in the Margaret River area, have chosen to share
aspects of their culture with visitors in an effort to increase
understanding and reconcilliation within the wider community.
