  • Jilakin Rock Dreamtime Story
    BELIEF SYSTEMS All humans have a set of beliefs and ideas that account for the world around them, its origins, and the place of humans. These beliefs and ideas define the meaning and You are here purpose of our lives. They also explain and guide humans through the great transitions of life including birth, coming of age as an adult, partnerships, parenthood, and death. These beliefs and ideas are often expressed through religious and ideological systems. These systems generally provide firm, unchanging ground on which to build our lives. The Aboriginal belief system is based around the Dreaming. The Dreaming stories, songs, art, dances and rituals of Nyoongars describe the creation of their environment and reveal the laws and customs that guide them through life. Dreaming stories, songs, art, dances and rituals would often be connected to actual places. Sometimes these places linked together into a Dreaming Trail. Particular places would have a specific story, song, art, dance or ritual to be undertaken which would keep the Dreaming Trail alive. For example, Mulkas Cave, Wave Rock, Jilakin Rock, Jitarning Rock, Dumbleyung Lake and Puntapin Rock are all connected via an ancient Dreaming Trail that reaches the coast at Augusta. JILAKIN ROCK Jilakin Rock was a place where the salt water and fresh water people met and was an important place of trade for these groups of people. Legend tells a story of two Nyoongar groups that met at this site. As a sign of their friendship, the group from the south-west placed their spears on the ground. From these spears as legend has it, grew the outcrop of jarrah trees, which are considered unique to this particular region of W.A.

  • Review of Aboriginal Culture in Relation to Granite Outcrops, a Western Australian Focus by Pat Forster [email protected] 29/04/2020
    Review of Aboriginal Culture in Relation to Granite Outcrops, a Western Australian Focus by Pat Forster [email protected] 29/04/2020 Warning: Readers are respectfully advised that this review contains names of Aboriginal persons who are deceased. 1 INTRODUCTION This review about Aboriginal culture draws mainly on references relating to Western Australia (WA). Most refer to Noongar Country which is in the south-west of the State. Noongar Country is approximately triangular with boundaries from Geraldton down the west coast to Augusta, east along the south coast to Esperance, and the third side of the triangle goes from Esperance to Geraldton. Noongar Country has fourteen language groups which are distinguished in the review when language groups are available for references, for example as Whadjuk Noongar, Menang Noongar. Other major groupings referred to, each with multiple language groups, are peoples of the Eastern Goldfields, the mid-west (Murchison and Gascoyne regions), north-west (the Pilbara), north (the Kimberley), and the Central Deserts. To locate the territories of all language groups in WA, the reader can view, online, the map by Tindale (1940) and a simpler version by the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Studies (1996). The spelling of Noongar and other names in the review varies – each version matches that in the papers from which the names were retrieved. Facts about, and uses of, granite outcrops are included as well as cultural narratives. My intention was that cultural references would relate to traditional, pre-European settlement culture. However, whether or not current accounts by Aboriginal people reveal knowledge which is free of European influence is a moot point: narratives evolve over time, in the oral tradition and by different speakers, and sometimes take in contemporary conditions (Maranda, 1972).
