Statement of Significance
It is historically significant as a tribal rest site en route to Meekadaribee – a sacred site near Ellensbrook (word of mouth – squat site of Aboriginal Family in the twenties – source Ellie Bussell.) It now contains an art studio and gallery, which illustrates the growth of the artistic community and demand for regional art created by tourism.
History
Dalleep is the name of a Spring on the Kilcarnup Beach. Dalleep is the name of a block now erased from Litho, once owned for his life by Aboriginal Joe Coolbung, remains of well once on the ten acre block and at one time the remains of a well existed. [Collard, Thesis; Cowan University] Location 1273 was reputed to have been granted to the Aboriginal Joe Coolbung for his lifetime. On his death it was passed to the Keenan family and thence to Caves Pastoral Company, Perth. It was then purchased by Joan and Stan Dilkes.
The property was originally a ten acre block, shown on lithograph as part of Sussex Location 1292 (1273). It is situated on Caves Road, approx. 11kms due west of Margaret River. A recent survey has now deleted Loc 1273 by permission of the council and has situated thereon a pottery studio and gallery run by Rod Dilkes and Tova Hoffman, called “Dalleep Studio”.
