🦜 Keep the Carnaby's Flying Ngoolark Forever
Dr Barbara Hostalek – Sunday 10 August, 12.30pm
This land is the home of the White-tailed Black Cockatoo, Ngoolark in Noongar language. And if we want to see them live longer in our skies we are all going to need to work together to be caretakers of this beautiful Country. With our eyes, ears and hands we can move our feet to conserve boodjar (land) and keep the birds flying now and forever.
