For many thousands of years the original
inhabitants' life was undisturbed. There were sometimes visitors from the
islands to the north, but these were mainly fishermen who did not stay
long.
The beginning of the seventeenth century, however, saw the first European visitors to these shores. The peaceful existence of the Aborigines was under threat from that time onwards. It was another two centuries, though, before Europeans came to settle permanently in Western Australia. the routes of the European Explorers |
