ARCHIVED PROJECT
Bush Babies was a multi-faceted community arts project that preserved and celebrated the stories of Noongar babies born in the bush and the midwives who delivered them.
In 2010 a group of local Quairading community members came together for a reunion at the Badjaling Noongar Reserve in the Central Wheatbelt, sharing photographs, stories and memories of the Reserve. This reunion sowed the seeds of the Bush Babies project, which ran until 2016 with a total of 8 phases held across regional WA. While each community was unique in its approach to the storytelling, arts and research process, the sharing, recording and celebrating of Noongar stories were at the heart of each project phase.
