Part of the 'Doontanboro Kura – Melville Waters Dreaming' exhibition, this three-minute animation, in Noongar with English subtitles, transports the viewer back in time. It tells the story of the creation of Wagoorjup, the place of the Waugal, and the two rivers, the Derbal Yaragan (Swan river) and the Dyarlgarro (Canning River), that meet there. You'll find out how the Noongar people lived in the place, and how to pay your respects to the land and show the Waugal that you come here in good spirit.

The idea for includiong this story in the exhibition was raised by community members early in the project. Wagoorjup's riso, which is the Waugal, was the last to be printed on the linen map. This ignited conversation about how to honour the Waugal and inlcude the story of the creation of Wagoorjup in the project. The community decided that an animation would tell this important story.
