Noongar Inspired Designs
Art by Thomas Betts
These designs have been inspired by the animals and gathering places from the South West in Noongar country. Kaarda, the Racehorse Goanna or Gould’s Monitor Lizard. Yongka, the Kangaroo, were eaten in the coldest months during Makuru and their fur was used for clothing and bags. Booyi, the south western snake-necked turtle, also known as the oblong or long necked turtle. Wagyl, the Rainbow Serpent, is part of Noongar peoples creation story and Moort Nyininy, means Family Sitting in Noongar Language. This is one of the most iconic Aboriginal motifs, it depicts people seated at a specific site, camp or meeting place.
