Indigenous Language

Before the Europeans had arrived and settled, Western Australia was a native home to an array of Indigenous communities. There were roughly 66 Indigenous language groups within Western Australia alone.

Nyoongar People

The Nyoongar (also spelt Noongar) people are the original native owners of the South West Australia region. The Nyoongar tribe hunted kangaroos, possums and wallabies; they also fished, and gathered edible seeds and roots of plants. In the mildly cooler and wetter Perth winters, the Aboriginal people would clothe themselves in Kangaroo skin cloaks and build huts for tribes men and women to live in.

Indigenous Artefacts

There are stone tools that are estimated to be 35,000 years old which were found at the Djadjiling rock shelter inside of Western Australia’s Pilbara region.
