Oyster Harbour Fish Traps
CLIENT: H+H ARCHITECTS | INDUSTRY: CULTURAL HERITAGE INTERPRETATION | SERVICES: INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE
The Oyster Harbour Fish Traps site is one of a number of places where Menang people utilised the marine and estuarine resources of the Albany area, and fish traps are likely to have existed in this location for thousands of years. It is one of several Aboriginal sites (including Yorrl Park) that in time will be linked to form the Kinjarling Cultural Pathway.
dcdesign worked with illustrations (created with paper-cut techniques) by local students, as well as historic paintings by Robert Neill (an artist who documented fish species in King George’s Sound in the 1840s) to design a series of interpretive panels that tell the cultural heritage stories of this significant site.
