15.01.2022 Soon well all be singing the Six Noongar Seasons Song. This song, full of culture and science, was written by the Koorlong team with Della Rae Morrison and Charley Caruso! Charley has been in the studio mixing some moorditj (deadly) beats and has come up with a kwobidak (beautiful) arangement! Music allows us to feel, learn about and understand the boodjar (country) on which we live. Elders have shared that if were all closer to boodjar, reconciliation and healing can take place.
