mother and a whal badima varatt father The title of this stamp issue, Ngene-hitting
translates as "My Dreaming" in the Yamatji (Ngana) and Nyungar (Nyitting) languages.The Boodja (Country) of the Yued people is located 250 kilometres north of Boorloo/Perth and north-east of Balladong Boodja. The town of Moor is where my maternal Nana is from. She was born amongst the trees near a settlement called Walebing. This stamp shows my Nana's Country. The Yonga (kangaroo) and Weiti (emu) are a major source of traditional food which my ancestors would hunt. The bottlebrush tree was used as medicine and its sweet nectar was a source of food. Also shown are the waterways, which were made by our creator, Waagyl (the Rainbow Serpent), and at the centre is the Ngaangk (sun), our giver of life. The Mardaa (ochre), used for paint in ceremonies, can be seen at the bottom.
