Warriu Park Dreamtime Statues
Photographs supplied by Diane Watson
Large Aboriginal statues depicting early Aboriginal life at Wyndham 3 Mile. The statues were built as part of a Bi-Centenary project and originally intended for Kings Park in Perth as an Indigenous People contribution towards Reconciliation and the development of a new Australian society.
A commemorative ceremony was held in 1990 headed by Ernie Bridge, the MLA for the Kimberley.
