A powerful story of love, legacy and the road home. Tash and her Dad are going on a road trip. Home to Country - where the sky is higher, and the world stretches out forever. It's a long way from the wide streets and big old houses of Tash's childhood. Two black faces in a very white suburb. Dad still reckons he's the King of Cool, but he's an old fella now. This time, it's Tash who's behind the wheel - taking him home. Infused with humour and heart, Which Way Home draws from writer Katie Beckett's own memories of growing up with her single Aboriginal father. Featuring real-life father and daughter and much loved Yirra Yaakin performers Derek and Shaquita Nannup, this personal story offers profound insight into father–daughter relationships and challenges traditional ideas of parenthood. Which Way Home is a heartfelt and moving exploration of family, identity and home.

Discover the cultural stories of the Whadjuk Noongar people through a new, immersive audio experience at Yagan Square. Located in the Yagan Square Amphitheatre, Ngaank Boodja (mother country) is a soundscape of the voices, songs and sounds of women's country—honouring the area's history as an important meeting place and decision-making ground for Noongar women. Created by renowned Noongar producer and filmmaker Karla Hart, in collaboration with the award-winning Soundbyte Studios, the soundscape weaves immersive audio to share the stories of Goologoolup and the ancient wetland system that once thrived where Yagan Square stands today. The free experience takes you on an audio journey to the place beneath the buildings and concrete. A place teeming with life, from lapping water, children splashing and croaking frogs, to the beat of cockatoo wings and the distant murmur of women yarning. Ngaank Boodja also features six audio narratives that explore the deep, maternal connection to Country and celebrate the memories of ancestors who once walked the songlines of Goologoolup. Delivered by DevelopmentWA, Ngaank Boodja reflects an ongoing commitment to celebrating Aboriginal culture, promoting reconciliation, and activating public spaces in meaningful and inclusive ways.
