Aboriginal occupation of South Western Australia dates back more than 40,000 years. Around Wanneroo and Yanchep, artefacts have been found that date from between 6,500 and 1,700 years ago. Although population sizes appear to have fluctuated, the coastal plain supported comparatively high numbers of people because of the abundance of food and water. The Bulrush in the park provided the opportunity for large neighbouring Nyoongar groups to meet.
