Claim: Marribank, formerly known as Carrolup became the setting of a Noongar Art movement among young residents which became famous and resulted in an exhibition organised in Perth, other towns and cities in Australia and in London.
Evidence: Marribank, earlier known as Carrolup, was the site of one of two large Native Settlements for Indigenous Australians established by the office of the Protector of Aborigines of the Western Australian State Government. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, as Carrolup Native Settlement, the site became the setting of a Noongar (South-West Aboriginal) Art movement among the children resident there, famous for its portrayals of local Western Australian scenes at sunset. An exhibition of Carrolup artists was organised in Perth, in a number of Australian towns and cities and in London.
