Marribank, earlier known as Carrolup Native Settlement, is located in the Shire of Kojonup, Western Australia, approximately 30 kilometres (19 mi) north-west of Katanning. It 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.[1] The settlement was one place that the Stolen Generations were taken after being separated from their families. Artworks produced by children at Carrolup are some of the only extant objects produced by members of the Stolen Generations across Australia.[2]
