Join award winning songwriters Gina Williams and Guy Ghouse, alongside the WA Youth Orchestra, Noongar Children’s Choir and WA Young Voices in Koolbardi wer Wardong. A magical journey back to the Nyittiny, the time of Creation.

Set on Noongar Boodja (the south west corner of Western Australia) story tellers, Gina Williams and Guy Ghouse bring to life this incredible story of Koolbardi the Magpie and Wardong the Crow, two very proud, vain, jealous brothers. Watch as their cunning, rivalry and one-upmanship brings them unstuck in spectacular fashion.

Experience the incredible beauty of the language of this land, as this production promises to delight audiences of all ages.
