Heritage site marker for the Trigg Aboriginal fish traps plaque

Before European settlement, the local Nyoongar people built fish traps at Trigg Beach with rocks and branches. The fish would swim into the traps and at low tide the Nyoongar people would gather their catch caught in the fish trap.  It is believed thatthe local Nyoongar people travelled from Star Swamp at North Beach, where there is evidence of them having used the area before colonisation, and lived a sustainable hunter-gatherer lifestyle. This plaque captured in bronze is located at Clarko Reserve and is part of the coastal trail.
