A time capsule of Aust first people 50,000 years ago

Summary by Ground News
Barrow Island, 60 kilometres off the Pilbara in Western Australia, was once a hill overlooking an expansive coast. This was the northwestern shelf of the Australian continent, now permanently submerged by the ocean. Aboriginal people repeatedly lived on portions of this coastal plateau. This use of the plain likely began 50,000 years ago, and the place remained habitable until rising sea levels cut the island off from the mainland 6,500 years ago.
