Menang Noongar community.

Thanks to funding from Lotterywest, the City of Albany engaged Aboriginal heritage
specialist Robert Reynolds, Menang Elder Vernice Gillies and local historian Dr
Murray Arnold to guide research of historical documentation and collaborate
with our Menang community to identify Menang Noongar place names across                              Shandell Cummings
the Albany region.
                                                                                                     FRONT PAGE, MARCH, JULY, NOVEMBER
The project acknowledges the cultural significance of places and seeks to increase
awareness and knowledge of Menang language by increasing the number of
geographical features and places within the City of Albany that include the
Menang Noongar place name.

We are often more familiar with European place names and modern history,                             Donna Williams
but there are many Menang Noongar names and stories attached to these places.                        JANUARY, MAY & SEPTEMBER
These names tell of a rich connection to Country, and their importance to our First
Nations people long before non-Aboriginal cultures arrived on our shores.

The Restoring Menang Noongar Place Names project has been a journey of
discovery and a rekindling of cultural awareness, as we have collaborated with our
local Aboriginal community to identify the names their ancestors gave these places.                  Dale Williams

This calendar enables us to recognise and appreciate the cultural significance of
12 locations, with each month featuring artwork from a local Noongar artist that
captures the essence of the location.

Uredale Point
The name Point Possession has historically
had connotations of Menang ownership
ending when Captain George Vancouver
claimed ‘possession’ of the land in 1791.
However, a traditional Menang Noongar
place name has not been identified within
the local Menang community or within
historical records. After consultation with the
local Menang community, Point Possession
has been renamed Uredale Point in honour
of the most senior Aboriginal man living in
the area at the time of settlement.
Uredale was well known to the British,
who referred to him as Dr Uredale in
sign of genuine respect for his status as
both a senior man and a Mulgaraddock
– a Menang doctor believed to have
supernatural powers.

TOP TIPS TO SAVE SPACE IN YOUR GENERAL WASTE BIN
Did you know that if every person in WA reduces what we discard by just 5%, we’ll each throw away about 120kg less per year
– or the equivalent of 7500 adult humpback whales all together!

       glass bottles and jars, and plastic bottles and
       containers in your yellow-lidded Recycling
       bin. Excess household recycling can be taken
       to Fossicker’s Tip Shop for no charge.
   •   Take soft plastic packaging (like bread bags
       and chip packets) to the REDcycle bins at
       Coles & Woolworths when you do your
       shopping.
   •   Separate items that shouldn’t go in any bin,
       such as batteries and light globes, and drop
       them off at Fossicker’s Tip Shop for no charge.
   •   Look for package-free or low packaging
       alternatives when you shop.
   •   Compact waste in rubbish bags and squeeze
       as much air out as possible.

                                                         Still have too much waste for your bin? Contact the Waste Team to discuss your options.
