Cockburn

Tappers Homestead, Bibra Lake, Western Australia.

June 29, 2012Sue CarterDay of Archaeology 2012, Historical ArchaeologyAboriginal, Archaeology, Artefacts, Australia, Azelia Ley, Azelia Ley Museum, Battye Library, Bibra, Bibra Lake, Cockburn, Cockburn council, Daniel Tapper, database, Florence Korten, Government Department, Homestead, Korten, Mary-Ann Tapper, museum, Perth, Research, Schmalkalden-Meiningen, State library, State Library of Western Australia, Tapper, Western Australia

Today I am working on some of the history of the site. Research can take many forms and for this project I am utilizing historic records that are known for the area. These include registered maps, known local Aboriginal sites, notes taken from books relating to Bibra Lake and its Pioneering families as well as personal photographs from descendants.
