Event Description

Presented by Robert Reynolds, Senior Heritage Officer, Dept. of Indigenous Affairs, Albany.

The Kalgan Settlers Hall site is considered the oldest continuously-used meeting place in the world!

Learn how archaeological digs have dated this site to 18,850 years BP, and how planned excavations later in 2012 may well provide evidence of even greater age.
