Noongar Traditional Owners share endangered bettongs with the Narungga people | WWF-Australia
The first of 36 jet-setting bettongs released on South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula (Guuranda) in June as part of the groundbreaking Marna Banggara project, during a whirlwind 48-hour operation that will resonate for generations.
“Each and every one will leave a footprint on our Country,” said Garry Goldsmith, from the Narungga Nation Aboriginal Corporation. “The reintroduction of these bettongs starts to bring Country back to where it should be. You can then see what it means to have healthy Country – Marna Banggara.”
The endangered animals (known as woylies in the west) had begun their epic journey in the forests of the Noongar Nation, more than 2,000 kilometres away in southwest Western Australia. After being caught, undergoing health checks and being fitted with tracking devices, they...

Makuru (June to July) was researched by the children in North Perth
Djilba (August to September) was researched by the children in Nedlands
Kambarag (October to November) was researched by the children in North Fremantle
The six Noongar seasons teaches us that nothing is unconnected, that each change is influenced by the last. Animals, insects and people have always relied on this process, moving across the land directed by the weather and location of available foods. Plants flower at the same times of year, bearing fruit and reproducing according to this endless cycle. We all have a significant place within this cycle and this powerful traditional knowledge is the key to a more sustainable future.
To further our research, we invited Koorlong -Noongar Songs in Schools Project into our centres. Guided by elders and other cultural leaders, they have been singing Aboriginal songs across the Metro area and regionally across WA.
During their visits to each one of our centres, the group shared their new song: “ Bibbulmun Bonar- Six seasons”. We were the first ones to hear it and it became an important part of our programme.
Find out more about our SOEL Kindy Programmes at https://www.soel.wa.edu.au/
Awareness of the subtle changes of the seasons enriches our lives and encourages us to care for the land which cares for us :o)
Bibbulmun Bonar lyrics and notes about the songwriters can be found in the Madjitil Moorna choir's 'Aboriginal Songs for Schools and Communities' Volume Two. https://madjitilmoorna.org.au/store-downloads
On this track the songwriters sing the song with production and sound engineering by Charley Caruso.
Permission to sing Bibbulmun Bonar is granted by the copyright holder. Acknowledgement of the songwriters and the Madjitil Moorna choir, is requested.

The first of 36 jet-setting bettongs released on South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula (Guuranda) in June as part of the groundbreaking Marna Banggara project, during a whirlwind 48-hour operation that will resonate for generations.
“Each and every one will leave a footprint on our Country,” said Garry Goldsmith, from the Narungga Nation Aboriginal Corporation. “The reintroduction of these bettongs starts to bring Country back to where it should be. You can then see what it means to have healthy Country – Marna Banggara.”
The endangered animals (known as woylies in the west) had begun their epic journey in the forests of the Noongar Nation, more than 2,000 kilometres away in southwest Western Australia. After being caught, undergoing health checks and being fitted with tracking devices, they were carefully stowed and flown across the Nullarbor. The bettongs were on their way to make a new home on Narungga Country, in a cross-cultural exchange like no other.
The Marna Banggara project is jointly funded through the Northern and Yorke Landscape Board, the Australian Government, WWF-Australia and Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife. Other partners actively involved in developing and delivering the project include Regional Development Australia, South Australian Tourism Commission, Zoos SA, FAUNA Research Alliance, BirdLife Australia, Nature Conservation Society of SA, Narungga Nation Aboriginal Corporation, Primary Producers SA, Primary Industries and Regions SA, Conservation Volunteers Australia, Legatus Group, Yorke Peninsula Council, Yorke Peninsula Tourism and Scientific Expedition Group.
