AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Water is carried into the estuary by the Collie and the Preston rivers, although five rivers drain the Leschenault catchment into Elaap, the Leschenault Estuarine System: the Wellesley, Collie, Brunswick, Preston and Ferguson. Elaap is a Noongar word which means 'on or by the water', referring to the people and their place. There are many stories about this estuary - some new, some a little older, and some ancient. Nitja Noongar boodjar, derbal - this is Noongar country and estuary. Our stories are old, like our place.' (Publication summary)
