3. NOONGAR HERITAGENoongar people come from fourteen different languagegroups, which correlate with geographic areas withecological distinctions. Whadjuk, (also called Wadjuk,Whajook and Wadjug) is the name for the Aboriginalgroup inhabiting the Perth bioregion of the Swan CoastalPlain, and extending below Walyunga into thesurrounding Jarrah Forests. The etymology is unknownbut it has been suggested that it may come from Wirtj,meaning "those who went before"Perth Region NRM (PRNRM) is a community-ledregional group with responsibility for coordinating anddelivering natural resource management (NRM) in thePerth Region with support from the Noongar andbroader metropolitan community.With support from PRNRM Indigenous Officers, consultation has revealed that Noongar stakeholderswould encourage identification of the overarching network of trails with culturally appropriate names.This concept gained a positive reception from Lotterywest with the incorporation of interpretationfunding included with trails. The WESROC region, being within the Whadjuk Country, consultationthrough PRNRM resulted in the following names for consideration:Regional Trails NetworkBush to Beach TrailWetlands TrailCoast to River TrailMonitor Lizard TrailCarnaby’s Cockatoo TrailLittle Eagle TrailWhadjuk TrailsBush to Beach TrailNgura BiirdiWardun Beelya BiirdiKarda BiirdiKarak BiirdiWaarlitj BiirdiThe PRNRM has provided assistance with the Noongar Consultation process. Further engagementwith Noongar representatives through South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council (SWALSC) andthe Department of Indigenous Affairs (DIA) is included in the Action Plan where DIA Sec. 18approvals will be obtained in areas where required.The usage of these names is proposed to provide a regionally coordinated hierarchy to the RegionalTrails Network (Whadjuk Trails). They are not intended to override existing or proposed trailidentities currently utilised by individual Councils.Page 3 of 29
