Brewarrina Aboriginal Fish Traps
Brewarrina Aboriginal Fish Traps, Aboriginal fish traps in Brewarrina, Australia.
The stone walls extend for 500 meters along the Barwon River, forming an intricate network of channels and pools for catching fish.
Dating back over 40,000 years, these fish traps demonstrate advanced engineering skills of Aboriginal people through precisely positioned rock formations.
The Ngemba Wayilwan people maintain their connection to these ancestral structures, known as Baiames Ngunnhu in their traditional language.
Visitors can learn about Aboriginal fishing methods through guided tours at the Brewarrina Cultural Museum from Monday to Friday.
The stone formations create multiple V-shaped channels that funnel fish into holding pens during both high and low water flows.
