AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Kaawar is the story of how the red-capped parrots were scared by the waalitj (eagle) and as they scattered they scraped their legs across a hill in the Stirling Ranges in WA. The marks left by the Kaawar can still be seen, along with the pathways they created through the hills. The Noongar people always used these pathways created by the kaawar as they fled from the waalitj.' (Source: Batchelor Press)
