Noel Nannup, Aboriginal Heritage Officer and Noongar elder provides DVDs in partnership with the Swan Catchment Council, telling the stories of The Carers of Everything and When the Sea Rose.
Copies of these can be obtained by contacting the Swan Catchment Council.
- Len Collard, a Whadjuk/Balardong Noongar and senior lecturer and Program Chair in Australian Indigenous Studies at Murdoch University, captures the essence of Noongar culture in his DVD - Kura Yeye Mila Boorda - (From the past to the present and tomorrow).
