EXCURSION INFO
Noogenboro Kudadjin Boodja (Herdsman Learning Ground) is a learning experience which comprises a range of indigenous learning activities conducted on the banks of Noogenboro (Herdsman Lake), which was a traditional Nyungar camp ground. Dreaming-time stories and cultural history lessons from Nyungar Aboriginals provide a bridge of common understanding between contemporary and traditional thinking, breaking down cultural barriers as students learn about the modern and ancient ecological footprint.
