| Layer Id | 645 | Name | WA Journey Ways - The Snake Brothers Kalingiri (Albany) |
| Description | There are stories are about the formation of the modern coastline from around Australia. In Western Australia they typically describe a fight between freshwater and saltwater totems which results in the reshaping of the coastline. They were almost certainly constructed as narratives to remember the change in sea levels brought by the Holocene warming between 15,000 and 8,000 years ago. This story tells not only of the harbour forming but also of the hills behind Albany becoming integrated into their lives as they moved there to be safe from the rising waters. |
