SUBBED BUT AWAITING SPELLING CHECK The stone huts people are living in are cut off from the mainland on what will become WA's Dampier Peninsula.
Their remains will be left behind on Rosemary Island.
Around this coast, the Ngarluma-Yaburara people have been designing stone structures to help manage their landscape, including trapping fish and growing plants.
Marnrtamaya, circular stone houses, sit a few metres apart offering protection against strong easterly winds for up to four people.
Stones were shaped before construction and roofing is thickly thatched with plant materials like gum leaves, palm fronds and spinifex.
Murnamurna? are permanent homes during the ice age, fires lit inside to warm up the stones for efficient heating.

Songlines stretch right back before this time and carry stories down for thousands of generations.
