The Woggaal Maadjit’s Eggs - This Place

Added by First Languages Australia

'This Place' is a partnership between the ABC and First Languages Australia inviting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to create a short video about a place name, and the story behind it. Share with ICTV with support from the Community Benefit Fund.

The thrombolites in Lake Clifton in WA are thought to be one of the first life forms on earth. George and Frank share how for the Noongar people, the thrombolites hold a significant place in their Dreaming stories and explain how the local waterways were created.
