Mallee

Mallee lies on the southern coast near Wilson Inlet, where the Denmark and Hay rivers enter a shallow estuary behind a sandy bar. Karri, tingle and jarrah trees grow in the surrounding forests. The inlet and its waterways were a focus of Noongar life, at a meeting place between the Bibbulmun people to the west and the Minang of the southern coast. Its sheltered waters offered resources distinct from those of the open ocean beyond the bar.
