Join Koorlbardi (Magpie), Weitj (Emu), Nyingarn (Echidna) and their koordah (friends) as they journey through Noongar Boodjar sharing stories of how the land was created.

Through a collection of four stories based on Noongar knowledge and understanding of earth and country, audiences will learn about The First Sunrise; The Creation of Kings Park, How the Kangaroo Got Its Colour; How the Echidna Got its Spikes; and The Creation of Wave Rock and the Stars. 

Boodjar Kaatijin kicks off the series of kaatijin plays, specifically written for our younger audiences, that focus on the sharing of Noongar language and connecting young people with important cultural knowledge and stories.
