Three laser-etched steel shapes and storyboards pay tribute to the important roles Noongar people have held and continue to hold in the area, telling the stories of the nearby boodjari yorga boodjar (woman’s place of birth), the waadiny maam (watchman) and the moorditj yorga (strong woman). The stories and artwork were led and guided by the families of the Forrestfield-Airport Link Aboriginal Stakeholder Group.
