Aboriginal stories were passed down from generation to generation over 40,000 years that we know of and celebrated in song and dance. Few stories would surpass the event that took place near this spot some 300 years ago as told by old Bungaree an elder of the tribe. The Gunn-e-daar tribe used this wallaby trap, which was an area of clear land about 1600 meters long by 200 meters wide and flanked on three sides by thick scrub to lure kangaroo and wallaby into the open area and then force them into the trap, which was lined on three sides by warriors wielding spears and nulla nulla. Many kills were made each time the trap was used, which may have been several times a year.
The Gunn-e-daar tribe, under threat from Cassilis warriors who had come with many warriors to raid the Gunn-e-daar tribe of their women and children were taken by complete surprise when the Red Chief had made a dummy camp in the neck of this trap. During the night the Cassilis warriors advanced into the trap and were going to attack the camp at dawn. Unseen and unnoticed by the Cassilis boys the Red Chief had placed his warriors around the perimeter of the trap and waited. As first light come on the Cassilis boys attacked. Ambushed, the Cassilis warriors were all but destroyed in the attack. The survivors of this massacre went back to Cassilis, forever fearing the Gunn-e-daar tribe.
