There are approximately 250 different Aboriginal language groups with up to 700 different dialects across Australia.
The Nyoongar people live in the South West of Western Australia, no further north than Geraldton, no further east than Merredin and no further south than Esperance. The Nyoongar consisted of 14 different tribal groups sharing one language, but a different dialect for each group.
Our local people are the Wadjuk? who roamed a 50km radius around Perth. Wadjuk means "The guardians of the link between the land and the sea", this link being the beautiful Swan River. Once a year the Wadjuk would travel along the waterway we know as Derbal Yarrigan (Swan River) and meet at Mundjah (Fremantle) to celebrate the country and waterway they cared for.
The Wadjuk had plenty of bush tucker to eat, many stories to tell and a Dreaming that still continues today.
