The old mud brick and iron houses at Canterbury were home to many Noongar families, including the Cuimara and Taylor families who worked the New Norcia farms where the house is located. One house is still standing and has a well for water at the side. The house is on Great Northern Highway 2km south of New Norcia. Courtesy SWALSC

A small stone and brick cottage for Noongar families who worked on the New Norcia farms. In the early 1900s Daisy Headland and Alfred Cuimara 2nd lived in the cottage while they worked for farmers in the Victoria Plains area. Later Joseph Taylor and Frances Taylor nee Ryder lived and raised their family in the cottage. It is one room with a fireplace, much the same as the cottages at New Norcia. The cottage is 2.5 km south of New Norcia on the banks of Yarawinda Pools. Courtesy SWALSC
