ARCHIVED PROJECT
Bush Babies
Goomalling
OVERVIEW
Bush Babies in Goolmalling took the the form of an intergenerational project Goomalling Yarns, which combined hip hop, oral histories, photography and printmaking.
Senior community members shared historic photos and stories of when people were living in the bush, reserves, missions and on the outskirts of town. More than 350 historic photos where identified in this process and uploaded to the WA State Library’s Storylines archive. The photographs, including the significant Mavis Walley Collection, document generations of Noongar families living in and around Goomalling since as early as 1925.
