Unknown to the common passerby Bora grounds, carving stones, cemeteries and relics can be found around the marked Aboriginal area.
Hosted by North West Local Land Services, remarkable relics were on show to the public on Tuesday as local Elders took an eager crowd around.
Aunty Noeline Briggs-Smith, OAM, took the group to a sacred burial ground for Aboriginal people who died on the reserve and surrounds around 1895.
“King Billy Barlow and his Queen Maggie were buried here, but nothing is marked, there is only one identified grave but there are many Aboriginal people buried in this one acre block.
“They’ve now long gone and some sadly forgotten,” she said.
Godfrey Leslie Claude Dillon was the only identified grave laying among thick scrub surrounded by thin trees; there was a special feeling in the air.
“His mother worked very hard to put a proper grave stone where he was buried,” Ms Briggs-Smith said.
Shortly after, Alfred Priestly carried out a smoking ceremony for all to cleanse themselves before heading down to Grinding Grooves.
Grinding Grooves are large rocks where indigenous people would go to sharpen their tools.
Right near the grooves was a sacred Bora ground where Aboriginal people used to, as part of tradition, take boys and prepare them for manhood.
Alf showed the crowd where the Bora circle was located.
“You can see from the grass, Bora circles are usually dug out like shallow billabongs, so when a circle is left the grass grows quite long in a circle-like shape,” he said.
Attendees finished the day with a sausage sandwich and some johnny cakes with maple syrup and butter.
