We're gonna have chickens when we move, and I'm so excited looking up native plants that are local to the area, particularly flowering plants that will hopefully attract heaps of birds and other pollinators!!! I'm trying to find out the Noongar names of as many of the plants and local areas as I can, and I can't wait to go to another local town nearby and do one of the tours with the Goreng Noongar guide!! The area where I'm living is called Wagyl Kaip.

#aside from some local Whadjuk Noongar people coming in on Naidoc day in primary school i got fuck all education about Noongar Boodja #and language so im making up for lost time #the last few years ive been doing my best to learn what i can and support local artists and creators #because this is such beautiful country that i live on and i want to do all i can to honour those that came before and whose land it is #always was always will be #we're so lucky that after all the disgusting and traumatising things colonists have done and continue to do #that the Noongar people are still willing to share and teach parts of their culture that they're comfortable sharing
