Now that the fire has brought warmth to Noongar Boodjar (land/earth), the rivers and oceans are beginning to be created. However, not before that cheeky Djitty Djitty (Willy Wag Tail) has more to say!

Drawing from Yirra Yaakin’s rich history of creating performances for young people, Kep Kaatijin is a collection of stories based on the traditional Noongar knowledge and storytelling. These stories have been sourced from senior Noongar Elders and then adapted by the award winning team of Derek Nannup and David Milroy.

From Mumung, the hungry whale, to Djitty Djitty, the angry Willy Wag Tail, Kep Kaatijin will take young audiences on a fascinating journey into traditional Noongar stories.

The Museum is also hosting some great craft activities and trails!
