Information
Main Aboriginal Camp of Capalaba area. This was a halfway point between the coast and woodlands, thus was an area of fishing and wallaby-hunting. Aborigines traded oysters and fish to settlers for tobacco. They also assisted in tracking criminals and with timberwork. Visitors included King Minnippi Rawlings, Charlie and others. Use of the Camp seems to have continued into the mid-1890s.
