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.
