Dancers surprise their leaders with celebratory nyumbi ❤️

This is a special moment where we surprised Olman during the Birak Festival last night. Every single dancer has in some way been taught by Olman in his lifetime and they all showed up to celebrate him and the other amazing award winners.

This is culture and this is love.

Background: Murdoch University awarded honorary fellowships to five amazing leaders, Angela Ryder, Tony Hansen, Alison Gibson, Ingrid Cu***ng and our very own Olman Walley. There was also an honorary PhD to elder uncle Jim Morrison for his lifetime achievements.

We are too proud to be part of these super special moments and to be sharing this with the community. Thank you to all the mob who showed up for Olman and the other leaders and a special shout out to the family who led the nyumbi. Rickeeta Walley Jayden Boundry Bevan Winmar Olman Walley

Happy Birthday Nan ❤️

Dr Roma Winmar | Happy 80th Birthday

Today, we celebrate not only your incredible 80 years of life but also the immense legacy you have built in Aboriginal education, the arts, and the preservation of Noongar language and culture. Your dedication to empowering others, passing on knowledge, and advocating for our people’s stories and language is a gift to us all.

You have been a guiding light, a nurturer of community, and a fierce advocate for education and cultural pride. Through your work, you’ve inspired countless generations and reminded us all of the strength and beauty of Noongar culture. You have taught us to listen deeply, learn openly, and walk together with purpose towards a brighter future.

Your role as 'Nan Roma' to so many of us speaks to the love, wisdom, and support you so generously give. On this special day, we honour you with gratitude, respect, and all the love in our hearts.

We are so fortunate and deeply grateful to have you as our Elder-in-Residence, guiding our university community at Edith Cowan University (ECU) with your profound knowledge and cultural guidance.

May your 80th year be filled with joy, laughter, and the deep knowledge that you are cherished by many.

Much love and respect always, from all of us here at Kurongkurl Katitjin x

CRITICALLY ENDANGERED

Western Prickly Honeysuckle

Lambertia echinata subsp. occidentalis (of the/from the
West/Western)

Dieback is present in the bushland only 300m uphill from the last remaining population of this honeysuckle. To try to ensure its survival, the Department of Parks and Wildlife has restricted access to the site. The area is also being sprayed with phosphite
Geraldton which helps reduce the impact of dieback disease. The Kings Park Nursery has successfully grown this Lambertia. This plant is only found in the Wardandi area of Nyoongar Boodjah (Lower Southwest of WA).
