Kodja Place |
Kojonup |
| The Kodja Place in the centre of Kojonup
demonstrates the significance of Noongar and Wadjela
(non-Aboriginal) cultures in the district. It provides a focal
point for local cross-cultural harmony and its existence,
activities, and success provide a source of community pride.
An architecturally designed, purpose-built rammed earth
building houses a multi-faceted display of artefacts, stories,
interactive displays, exhibits, pictures, and hands-on devices
adjacent to a spectacular rose maze, telling the
story of the Kojonup area. It tells in vital, vivid, human and
sometimes confronting manner the story of the cultural,
economic and geographic influences that formed the Kojonup of
today. Other parts of the Kodja Place and its story include:
the Visitor Information Centre, the Kodj Gallery, the Story Place, and Yoondi's Mia Mia. |

Mokare's Statue |
Albany |
| Mokare became a key figure through the role
developed as a guide, mentor and interpreter to the colonists,
and the good relationships he fostered between the Aboriginal
people and the new arrivals. His statue is located at the
Alison Hartman Gardens, on York Street (the main street of
Albany). |
