The Tyrendarra lava flow changed the drainage pattern of the region, and created large wetlands. [1] From some thousands of years before European settlement in the area in the early 19th century (one of five eel trap systems at Lake Condah has been carbon dated to 6,600 years old [1]), the Gunditjmara clans had developed a system of aquaculture which channelled the water of the Darlot Creek ...
From some thousands of years before European settlement (one of five eel trap systems at Lake Condah has been carbon dated to 6,600 years old [8]), the Gunditjmara people developed a system of aquaculture which channelled the water of the Darlot Creek into adjacent lowlying areas trapping short-finned eels and other fish in a series of weirs ...
The closest town is Heywood, some 300 kilometres (190 mi) west of Melbourne. [1]The lake is shallow, and about 4km long and 1km wide. [1] It lies within the Budj Bim heritage areas, an area known for the ancient aquaculture systems created by the Gunditjmara at least 6,600 years ago to trap short-finned eels (kooyang) and other fish.
The Gunditjmara are traditionally river and lake people, with Framlingham Forest, Lake Condah and the surrounding river systems being of great importance to them economically and spiritually. Numerous distinct structures, extending over 100 square kilometres (39 sq mi) of the landscape, are employed for the purpose of catching short-finned eels ...
Fish and eel traps were constructed on many rivers, and while most were probably of organic materials and have left little trace, some, such as at Lake Condah in western Victoria reveal complex systems of excavated channels and stone weirs, dated to 3000 years ago. Stone artefacts found near the bones of now extinct megafauna at Lancefield in ...
Darlot Creek, also known as Darlots Creek [1] [2] or Darlot's Creek, [3] arises in Lake Condah in south-western Victoria, flows through the wetlands in the Budj Bim heritage areas, past the site of the Lake Condah Mission, [4] and joins the Fitzroy River at the south-eastern corner of the Tyrendarra Nature Conservation Reserve.

[3] [4] [5] These builders utilised basalt rocks around Lake Condah to erect housing and complicated systems of stone weirs, fish, and eel traps, and gates in water-course creeks. The lava-stone homes had circular stone walls over a metre high and topped with a dome roof made of earth or sod cladding.
