tests were carried out at Mileura in the years 2000-2005 but in 2006, due to compromised radio quietness in the Mileura area, it was decided to move the site south-west to Boolardy Station. Aboriginal occupation In the 1950s Stephen Davies and Matcham Walsh arranged radio carbon-dating of a hearth in a cave in the Ejah Breakaway, about 18 km south/west of the homestead. It placed occupation there as far back as 1100 CE. It seems likely that the cave, well positioned near a water hole and having a panoramic view over the surrounding plains, was once an Aboriginal resting place, or perhaps a ceremonial site. Scratch markings on the ceiling of the cave could be construed as maps of the area. Mileura falls within the Wadjarri Yamatji native title area.
