Arkaba tura

Arkaba tura lies within the region of South Australia. Aboriginal peoples inhabited and travelled through its varied landscapes long before European colonisation. Water and seasonal resources shaped movement and settlement across the interior.

Far to the west, Koonalda Cave preserves evidence of ancient Aboriginal activity, including stone extraction and rock art. European surveys of the southern coast included the voyages of Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin in 1802. Britain established the province of South Australia in 1836, bringing colonial rule to a land already inhabited by Aboriginal communities.
