Wandjoo! (Welcome)

The Town's 2026 Kaatijiin Screening follows on from the successful 2024 and 2025 instalments. 

Noongar for knowledge, 'Kaatijiin' is an apt name for these film screenings, which offer an intimate and thought-provoking look into tales of Country and the people on it. 

Our next film, "Breathing Life into Boodja" takes a deep dive into the ongoing effort to restore cleared bushland in the Great Southern, where some of Australia's most biologically diverse ecosystems were destroyed when land clearing for broad-acre agriculture was dramatically increased after World War II. 

May 2026 will also see the screening of acclaimed documentary "Genocide in the Wildflower State". 

More details to come.
