The design of the buildings within the Precinct show changes over time in medical practice - as well as the development of State Government architecture from the construction of the first building in 1855 through to the 1930s. The Precinct is associated with a number of significant State Government Architects, including James Austin, Richard Roach Jewell, George Temple Poole, Hillson Beasley, William B Hardwick, A.E.’Paddy’ Clare, John Tait. The Precinct is comprised of the following buildings: Colonial Hospital (1855) with Outpatients’ Extension (1923), Administration Building (1894), Kirkman House (1908-09) with Nurses’ Quarters Extension (1926), Old Kitchen (1909), Cancer Clinic (1930), Moreton Bay Fig Tree (c.1900) and associated gardens.

State Buildings 1874 Cathedral Avenue, Perth Starting with just three small buildings to run all of State Government business, various additions were made to the site on the corner of Barrack Street and St Georges Terrace. It was not until 1890 that the complex started to take on its more familiar look, when architect George Temple Poole drew up plans for a new General Post Office in the French Second Empire Style. More buildings, and sometimes additional storeys were added to existing buildings, and in 1904 the facades of the older buildings were remodelled, giving the State Buildings their much-admired elevations which remain today. Over their 140-year history, the State Buildings have been used as Public Offices, a Police Court and cellblock, Treasury, Survey Department, GPO, Immigration Offices, office of the Premier and Cabinet, Lands Department and Titles Building. During the last half of the 20th century, various government departments left the building for new accommodation. After this, the site was empty for nearly two decades and a variety of proposals for its redevelopment never saw the light of day. However, it now has a new lease of life with a variety of upmarket bars, cafes and retail spaces, including the luxury COMO The Treasury Hotel.

Criterion Hotel 1937 560 Hay Street, Perth Built for the Swan Brewery Company Ltd in 1937, the Criterion Hotel (formerly the Regatta Hotel) is the only remaining Art Deco hotel in the Perth. Art Deco was a popular architectural style throughout Australia after the Depression, when building activity increased significantly from 1936. Hotels inspired by Art Deco architecture included the centrally located Adelphi Hotel (demolished in the 1970s) and the Bohemia Hotel (demolished in 1980s), along with the Raffles The Criterion Hotel is also significant as the site of the oldest continuously licensed public house in Perth, with a “pub” operating on the site of the Criterion Hotel since at least 1848.

It is one of the many buildings designed by the Public Works Department under the direction of Hillson Beasley, its chief architect, and built by William Atkins, a well-known West Australian builder.

Young Australia League 1922 45 Murray Street, Perth The heritage listed Young Australia League (YAL) building at 45 Murray Street is a rare example of the Inter-War Free Classical style of architecture. It was built in 1922 to accommodate the club rooms and administration of YAL, an organisation originally established to promote the Australian rules football code. The foyer of the building now houses a museum of memorabilia associated with YAL’s early years. In contrast to the YAL building, the adjacent building at 55 Murray Street is an example of the Federation Queen Anne style of architecture. Originally built as a house, this is the only remaining residential style building in the east end of Murray Street - and a rare example of a substantial late nineteenth century house in central Perth. The house was the home of a prominent member of the Roman Catholic community, philanthropist, property investor and politician Timothy Quinlan who, together with his father-in-law, Daniel Connor, invested in significant land holdings in central Perth which became known as the Connor-Quinlan Estate.

St Andrews 1859 36 St Georges Terrace, Perth Constructed in 1906, St, Andrews Uniting Church was one of Perth’s first Presbyterian churches. The building’s Federation Gothic style of architecture was the achievement of architect James Hinse. Hinse incorporated red brickwork and sandstone detailing, which compliments the style of St George's Cathedral and Burt Hall at the adjacent Cathedral Square. The church was one of the principal places of worship for Presbyterians in Perth. St Andrew’s was the focus of Presbyterian activity in Perth for much of the twentieth century. The church closed its doors in 2009.

St George's Cathedral 1879 Cathedral Avenue, Perth Building a cathedral is no easy matter, so it is no surprise it took from 1877 to 1888 to raise the funds, draw up the plans and erect Perth’s premier place of Anglican worship. St George’s Cathedral owes its existence to the energy and foresight of Bishop Henry Parry who arrived in WA in 1877 and quickly realised his first task was to build a cathedral which would meet future needs. The building committee decided to put up a “good, plain Gothic building” and initially approached famous English church designer Arthur Blomfield, before finally settling on Sydney-based architect, Edmund Blacket. Since he died in 1883, sadly Blacket never got to see the finished cathedral, his only work in Western Australia. Funds were sought both in WA and in England, with one anonymous donor (who later turned out to the chair of the building committee, Sir Luke Leake) offering £2,000. With enough money raised to start works, it was decided to lay the foundations, build the naïve, aisles and transepts, and worry about towers, chapels and vestries at a later date. The foundation stone was laid on 2 November 1880, although it took until 8 August 1888 before St George’s Cathedral was ready for its first service. To complete the cathedral, a sum of more than £17,000 had to be raised, which is all the more impressive when you realise there were only 40,000 European settlers in all of Western Australia.

Perth Concert Hall 1973 5 St Georges Terrace, Perth The Perth Concert Hall is the main venue of the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, and also hosts a number of other events and performances. Acoustically, the venue is considered one of the best in Australia, with the design overseen by the New Zealand acoustician Sir Harold Marshall. The concert hall was opened on Australia Day (26 January), 1973. Designed by Howlett and Bailey Architects, local architectural firm, the building is constructed in the Brutalist style, making heavy use of white off-form concrete and a solid opaque interior. The main auditorium of the hall seats 1,729 people, as well as a 160-person choir gallery and a 3000-pipe organ. The building has two façades: facing north over St Georges Terrace, and facing south over the Swan River.

Around the corner on Pier Street is the former Salvation Army Headquarters, a conspicuous Perth landmark constructed in 1899 in the Federation Free style - with a fortress. Following its establishment in Western Australia in 1891, the Salvation Army quickly expanded throughout the colony and these buildings served as the administrative and social service headquarters of the organisation, a role it fulfilled for 90 years. No longer occupied by the Salvation Army, both buildings have now been re-purposed. The former Congress Hall is now apartments and the former Headquarters is now office space.

St Mary's Cathedral Victoria Square, Perth Few building projects in Perth have taken as long as St Mary’s Cathedral. When Michael Cavanagh drew up the plans for a new cathedral in the mid-1920s, he could never have imagined the building would only be completed some 80 years later. But the story of St Mary’s goes back to the very early Swan River Colony. The first Catholic cathedral, which still stands today, was the St John’s Pro-Cathedral. However, it quickly proved too small for the growing Catholic community, and the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception replaced it in the middle of Victoria Square, on a spot originally allocated to the Anglican Church. In the mid-1920s, plans for an even more impressive cathedral were drawn up, but limited funds meant only extensions to the older church could be managed at the time. This new cathedral was named St Mary’s, and despite plans for its completion, it was not until the end of the 20th century that sufficient funds became available. After it reopened in 2009, St Mary’s Cathedral finally completed Cavanagh’s vision of a grand gothic church. Today it remains the centre of focus for Perth’s Catholics, and the most impressive place of worship in Western Australia.

Perth Town Hall 1870 Corner or Barrack and Hay Streets, Perth One of Perth’s heritage jewels, the Town Hall took some time to construct. The foundation was laid on 24 May 1867 by Governor Hampton, but it was not opened until 1 June 1870 by Governor Weld. The design was a joint production of James Manning and Richard Roach Jewell. Manning was responsible for all of the woodwork, including the magnificent roof, while Jewell designed and supervised the erection of the main building. All of the woodwork was constructed by prisoners in Fremantle, and the huge circular ribs for the roof were conveyed from the prison to Perth on a carriage specially constructed for the purpose. Convicts also assisted with the hard work of raising what was then Perth’s tallest building. What is now the ground floor was originally intended to be for markets, although the City Council was forced to convert some of the bays into offices. In 1875 explorer Ernest Giles arrived and his camels were parked in the undercroft while he attended a welcoming party in the main hall. The same year a horse-drawn fire engine began to be garaged underneath the Town Hall. In addition to Council activities, the Town Hall has also hosted concerts, exhibitions, bazaars, lectures, dances, skating, and stage shows. It was also the place that generations gathered every 31 December to hear the New Year rung in by the bells of its clock.

The original building was completed in 1894 at a cost of 4,144 pounds, with additions made in 1907 and 1922. The printer was responsible for the printing of Parliamentary papers, The Government Gazette, most of the official stationery of the various Government departments, and the publication of the scientific and professional papers prepared by the Government Geologist and other officers. No longer used as a printing office, the beautifully restored building is now home to Curtin University of Technology.

No 1 Fire Station 1901 25 Murray Street, Perth The No 1 Fire Station was the first purpose-built fire station in WA. It opened in 1901 and continued in operation until 1979. Before No. 1 Fire Station was built in 1900, the Fire Brigade operated from the undercover area beneath the Town Hall on Barrack Street. Fire brigades in Western Australia expanded rapidly after the Fire Brigades Act of 1898. There were just 21 in 1902, but twenty years later this number had doubled. The expansion of the service from 1898 meant the Central Fire Station under the Town Hall was no longer sufficient, so a new station was planned on the corner of Murray and Irwin Streets which opened in 1901. Designed by architects Cavanagh and Cavanagh, the new building was Romanesque in style, with solid rock-faced stone walls and a red-tiled roof. The large engine room had three exits and held two large steamers and two hose carts, which doubled the equipment with which the brigade had previously been working. When a call was received, an officer pressed a button, which set the alarms ringing, flooded the building with electric light, and opened the trap doors in the ceilings to clear the sliding poles. Today No. 1 Fire Station has been converted for use as a Fire Brigade Education and Heritage Centre, and is a popular museum and education centre, visited by both schools and the public.

Archbishop's Palace 1855 Victoria Square, Perth The Archbishop's Palace demonstrates the role played by Roman Catholicism in the early years of Western Australia and the growing wealth of the Roman Catholic community in Western Australia from 1855 onwards. In 1855 the first section of the Episcopal palace was completed. Remodelling of the building over the next 80 years illustrates the changing styles of architecture thought appropriate for official ecclesiastical buildings – with its styling changed to a more classically derived and simplified design. The Archbishop's Palace is held in high regard by members of the Roman Catholic community in Perth even though the Archbishop now resides elsewhere. The Archbishop's Palace is closely associated with Bishop Serra and Archbishops Clune and Prendiville.

Burt Hall 1918 and Cadogan Song School 2017 Cathedral Square, Perth Septimus and Louisa Burt decided to erect a memorial to their son Lt Theodore Burt, who was killed in action in France in 1916, aged just 23 years. After speaking with the Archbishop of Perth, the Burts decided to build a church hall adjacent to St George’s Cathedral. By the time the building was completed, another of their sons, Francis, had also been killed in action. The building was designed by architect George Herbert Parry, and Sir John Forrest, a friend of the Burts, laid the foundation stone for Burt Memorial Hall on 26 October 1917. The Hall was officially opened on 12 June 1918 in front of a ‘large and representative gathering of churchmen and citizens of Perth’. It was much praised by the West Australian. Over the years, Burt Memorial Hall has served as an important church and community venue, hosting many events including art shows, religious services and lectures and children’s Sunday School classes. Words from Heritage Perth The Cadogan Song School is a new concrete and glass building to service the choir of St George’s Cathedral and the Anglican Diocese of Perth.

Cremorne Arcade 1897 572-578 Hay Street, Perth The Cremorne Arcade provides evidence of the urban expansion and intensive building program that occurred in the City of Perth because of the State’s gold boom from the 1890s to World War I. A substantial commercial premise of this era, Cremorne Arcade illustrates the type of two-storey commercial building constructed in Perth in the early twentieth century, providing shops at the ground floor and offices at the first floor. For over twenty years from 1901, Cremorne Arcade was used as a business premises by Charles Harper, who served as Lord Mayor for Perth from 1937 to 1939.

Council House 1961 27 St Georges Terrace, Perth Council House was designed by two young Melbourne architects - Jeffrey Howlett and Donald Bailey - who were awarded the commission after a nationwide design competition. The walls consist of floor-to-ceiling double-glazed sealed windows in aluminium frames. One of the most distinctive elements of the building is the pattern of T-shaped sunshades placed uniformly against the four walls. While Council House is now regarded by experts as the best example of modernist architecture in Perth, there were periods when its future was in serious jeopardy. In the 1990s, just 30 years after its grand opening, there was a push to demolish the building because it did not fit with the State Government of the day’s vision for Perth, in particular the notion that the area around Council House and Stirling Gardens should become a ‘Heritage Precinct’. The term ‘heritage’ was being used by to describe a certain historic style of architecture, rather than recognising that modern structures can hold heritage value. There was considerable public debate over the future of the building which brought on a strongly fought campaign by architects and the community to save Council House. It was heritage listed in 2006.

Victoria Square Cottages 1890s Victoria Square, Perth The Victoria Square Cottages provide a rare example of a nineteenth century residential group in Perth. The cottages were part of the suburban residential development of the city when it expanded at the turn of the twentieth century. The decorative treatment of the front elevations of the cottages, and the repetition of these elements across the group, establishes a grander scale for the place than could be produced by a single building. The visual quality of the landscape is enhanced by the descending terracing of the cottages, which reflects the natural fall of the land. From the 1890s until the 1970s, the cottages served as rental accommodation for workers and their families. From the early 1970s they have been used by various of its social welfare and religious service organizations.

The Supreme Court 1864 Stirling Gardens, cnr Barrack Street & St Georges Terrace, Perth The Supreme Court is an excellent example of Federation Academic Classical architectural style used for major public buildings in the early 1900s. Its formal proportions and grand scale and design represent the role of the legal system in society and respect, being the main law enforcing institution in the city. Construction of the Supreme Court was a major technical design achievement on a difficult site on the edge of the river in the early 1900s. The building features a dignified setting, largely concealed by dense gardens, which shield it from its public surroundings.

Old Court House Law Museum 1837 Stirling Gardens, cnr Barrack Street & St Georges Terrace, Perth Perth’s oldest building has the unique claim of being the key place where religion, education and the law were truly born in the young colony. Before the Old Court House was opened in 1837, a temporary ‘rush church’ on the corner of Hay and Irwin Streets had doubled as place of worship and court. This tradition of multiple use was continued when Perth’s civil engineer, Henry Reveley, was tasked with designing “a suitable building as a court-house which could likewise be appropriated to the uses of a temporary church”. He drew up plans for a simple building with a distinctive Doric entrance, and construction started in 1836. Opening on Good Friday, 24 March 1837, for worship, the Old Court House started hearing law cases the following morning. Everything from a boy charged with stealing a melon to a man suspected of murder were all held in the one place. Sometimes the school which also used the room had to be interrupted if an important case was to be heard. From 1905 to 1964 the Arbitration Court was held there, after which it became the offices for the Law Society of Western Australia. From 1987 it has been the Old Court House Law Museum which is open to anyone who wishes to explore Western Australia’s fascinating legal past.

Clare McFarlane Work exhibited at the Criterion Hotel on Hay Street Clare McFarlane completed studies in Cultural Heritage alongside her Masters and honours in Fine Art. Her work often references the histories of scientific inquiry and the decorative arts to investigate Australian identity. Drawing on the designs of the William Morris Company (founded in the UK during the 1860s), she combines this lyrical Pre-Raphaelite patterning with the detailed depiction of birds, butterflies, insects and plants native to Australia, arranged so as to reference the collection of specimens for scientific inquiry.

Situated on the south-east corner of the Old Treasury building on the corner of Cathedral Avenue and St Georges Terrace, the marker was chosen during the building’s life as the state’s first post office. An understated plaque marking the adoption was laid in 1975. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58cb6c4ebe65946ee839d428/1509370862004-DZ8XY0ND6SBTDPIM5OKU/HistoricHeart-5_LR.jpg Art in the Historic Heart - Dirty Deeds (2015) Artists Marcus Canning and Tom Mùller Petition Kitchen, Cathedral Square, Perth This artwork illustrates where the two holding cells for the Police Court used to stand and the kind of people who spent time there. ‘A miserable little box,’ was how the cells were described by one commentator in the press at the time, ‘shocked at the smallness and want of ventilation and light’ by another. The footprint of the original cells can now be seen etched into the granite outside the restaurant, including the tiny windows and entry doors to the cells. A perusal of the forty misdemeanours described in the artwork provides a colourful snapshot of the early days of the colony and developing city where a populace made up of convict and post-convict labour alongside abundant supplies of ‘sly-grog’ influenced much of the street behaviours of the day. Visit the Cathedral Square website to find out more about this artwork. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58cb6c4ebe65946ee839d428/1629769471406-O2GCX84804HMAW0CC5E3/Historic+Heart Art in the Historic Heart - WA Artists One of Historic Heart’s first projects was the installation planter boxes across Perth's east end in October 2017. The planter boxes were a patina of what's West Australian - painted by West Australian artists and planted with West Australian native plants. The aim was to signify new energy and change in the neighbourhood. The painted surfaces of the planter boxes and benches act as street level visual activation. Thank you to the State Government and the City of Perth for providing Historic Heart of Perth Inc with grants to make this and other projects possible. The grants were matched by local property and business owners, and Perth based companies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58cb6c4ebe65946ee839d428/1571664704958-NWBNMY5ABPJK19PQK8VK/Lance+Chadd+for+Historic+Heart Art in the Historic Heart - Mural by Lance Chadd Mural on western wall of the Centrecare building. Design by Lance Chadd (Tjllyungoo) and Trish Robinson- executed by Lance’s son, Virgil Chadd and Grandson, Malik Chadd with mentorship from technical team Mel McVee and Tash Alibegovic Lance Chadd, a Bibbulmun Nyoongar/ Budimia Yamatji Aboriginal artist born in the southwest town of Bunbury, paints under his traditional tribal name ‘Tjyllyungoo’ meaning, Elder Man/Wisdom/Law, given to him by his Father, Norman Chadd, a well-known Drover of Yamatji Country. His name and breathtaking work are known, recognised and respected throughout South Western Australian and International art circles, South Western Aboriginal communities, art curators and researchers on SW Aboriginal Art and artists. He is known as one of the most senior and important Nyoongar artists alive. Tjyllyungoo has painted professionally since 1981, and his works are in many collections worldwide and locally including the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Parliament House and the Berndt Museum Collection. Tjyllyungoo is prolific in his mastery of depicting Australian landscapes, with constantly evolving work producing progressively more powerful collections, as he skilfully weaves the intangible Nyoongar spiritual beliefs and stories, through landforms. These exquisite expressions allow easy access for the viewer to search and find understanding of Nyoongar culture and how the land and spirit of the people are inseparable. His peoples take pride in and are inspired by his work, remembering and maintaining their identity, strength of spirit and sense of belonging in their homeland. The ”Koorlangahs” mural expresses the following: Culturally our Bibbulmun children are taught from an early age to care and have reverence for all of nature through the traditional worshipping lore of Boorongur. ‘Boorongur’, means ‘spiritual elder brother’ and ‘blood brother relation’. Every species of food, animal and plant is the Boorongur (totem) of either a group or individual. Every circumstance of life and death has a ceremonial association with the Boorongur and gives our people their strong connection to place and sense of belonging. Traditionally our Koolangars (children) were taught these totemic laws from earliest infancy and were told of the guardian spirit always watching over their Boorongur, so that they should not wantonly hurt or kill the young of their father’s Boorongur, for these were their own little ‘totem brothers and sisters’. In this way the mentorship and teachings of this lore go broader and deeper than just valuing and caring for our human children, it instils a deeply held value of all species of children - plant and animal, which is what sustains our life – the nurturing the children of all species is essential for our longevity, they are our life - our future.

This public artwork gives visitors a reason to pause, to consider the contrasting busyness of the city and the peacefulness of the Stirling Gardens, and how we like the kangaroos are caught in between. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58cb6c4ebe65946ee839d428/1509370965511-XWDJGESXG8ZYE6JNNPS9/Captain+James+Stirling+%281979%29 Art in the Historic Heart - Captain James Stirling (1979) Artist Clement P Somers City of Perth Library, 573 Hay Street Hay Street This statue of Captain James Stirling was created in 1979 to celebrate Western Australia's 150th anniversary. Sir James Stirling (28 January 1791 – 22 April 1865) was a British naval officer and colonial administrator. His enthusiasm and persistence persuaded the British Government to establish the Swan River Colony and he became the first Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Western Australia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58cb6c4ebe65946ee839d428/1529304144566-FLQZW37PRZ9EGVCMJEKC/003_lowres.jpg Art in the Historic Heart - Hibernian Place Muse (2018) Artist Rone 480 Hay Street, Perth Renowned street artist Rone has painted a women’s face on a wall within Hibernian Place - a new precinct in the Historic Heart which is now home to the Westin Hotel, and a range of bars, cafes and restaurants. Geelong-born Rone is internationally renowned for his larger-than-life female muse paintings, often on a raw concrete canvas. He has painted throughout the US, Europe and Asia. “I am very happy with the end result,” Rone, 37, said. “The challenge for me as an artist is to create something beautiful from a raw, unfinished surface. I hope that’s what I achieved.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58cb6c4ebe65946ee839d428/1509369037394-55XYZA9EGR4GYG8NJ0YQ/HistoricHeart-116_HR_LR.jpg Art in the Historic Heart - Ascalon (2011) Artists Marcus Canning and Christian de Vietri 1 Cathedral Avenue, Perth Ascalon, the striking, billowing white sculpture that stands before St George’s Cathedral is an abstract interpretation of the legend of St George and the dragon. The sculpture depicts the triumph of good over evil, with the sculpture’s angled pole and white billow representing St George’s lance, cloak and steed, and its black base reminiscent of the defeated body of the dragon. The name of the sculpture is taken from the name of St George’s lance in medieval romances – itself a derision of the city of Ashkelon in Israel – the sculpture is a fittingly commanding statement at the forecourt of the cathedral.

The sculpture depicts the triumph of good over evil, with the sculpture’s angled pole and white billow representing St George’s lance, cloak and steed, and its black base reminiscent of the defeated body of the dragon. The name of the sculpture is taken from the name of St George’s lance in medieval romances – itself a derision of the city of Ashkelon in Israel – the sculpture is a fittingly commanding statement at the forecourt of the cathedral. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58cb6c4ebe65946ee839d428/1532075444502-C7BLT7LOXW4ZLIBQ5QJP/Historic+Heart+Stadium+Walk Stadium Walk - 3. State Buildings 1874 Cathedral Avenue, Perth The western side of Cathedral Square is bound by the magnificent State Buildings. Starting with just three small buildings to run all of State Government business, various additions were made to the site on the corner of Barrack Street and St Georges Terrace. It was not until 1890 that the complex started to take on its more familiar look, when architect George Temple Poole drew up plans for a new General Post Office in the French Second Empire Style. More buildings, and sometimes additional storeys were added to existing buildings, and in 1904 the facades of the older buildings were remodelled, giving the State Buildings their much-admired elevations which remain today. Over their 140-year history, the State Buildings have been used as Public Offices, a Police Court and cellblock, Treasury, Survey Department, GPO, Immigration Offices, office of the Premier and Cabinet, Lands Department and Titles Building. During the last half of the 20th century, various government departments left the building for new accommodation. After this, the site was empty for nearly two decades and a variety of proposals for its redevelopment never saw the light of day. However, it now has a new lease of life with a variety of upmarket bars, cafes and retail spaces, including the luxury COMO The Treasury Hotel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58cb6c4ebe65946ee839d428/1532076259135-OLTU2AYV6ICMVIOIQRMO/Historic+Heart+Stadium+Walk Stadium Walk - 6.

His name and breathtaking work are known, recognised and respected throughout South Western Australian and International art circles, South Western Aboriginal communities, art curators and researchers on SW Aboriginal Art and artists. He is known as one of the most senior and important Nyoongar artists alive. Tjyllyungoo has painted professionally since 1981, and his works are in many collections worldwide and locally including the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Parliament House and the Berndt Museum Collection. Tjyllyungoo is prolific in his mastery of depicting Australian landscapes, with constantly evolving work producing progressively more powerful collections, as he skilfully weaves the intangible Nyoongar spiritual beliefs and stories, through landforms. These exquisite expressions allow easy access for the viewer to search and find understanding of Nyoongar culture and how the land and spirit of the people are inseparable. His peoples take pride in and are inspired by his work, remembering and maintaining their identity, strength of spirit and sense of belonging in their homeland. The ”Koorlangahs” mural expresses the following: Culturally our Bibbulmun children are taught from an early age to care and have reverence for all of nature through the traditional worshipping lore of Boorongur. ‘Boorongur’, means ‘spiritual elder brother’ and ‘blood brother relation’. Every species of food, animal and plant is the Boorongur (totem) of either a group or individual. Every circumstance of life and death has a ceremonial association with the Boorongur and gives our people their strong connection to place and sense of belonging. Traditionally our Koolangars (children) were taught these totemic laws from earliest infancy and were told of the guardian spirit always watching over their Boorongur, so that they should not wantonly hurt or kill the young of their father’s Boorongur, for these were their own little ‘totem brothers and sisters’. In this way the mentorship and teachings of this lore go broader and deeper than just valuing and caring for our human children, it instils a deeply held value of all species of children - plant and animal, which is what sustains our life – the nurturing the children of all species is essential for our longevity, they are our life - our future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58cb6c4ebe65946ee839d428/1571664855597-0X1QGXTY2RK5O2Y6CXFD/Historic+Heart+Green+World+Revolution New Art in Perth's Historic Heart - Thank you Green World Revolution Green World Revolution has been engaged to take care of Historic Heart's plants and planter boxes.

Since graduating from Curtin University in 2001 he has established a significant art practice and he works extensively in the education sector to help the wider community understand the deep connectedness his people have to the environment and all of the flora and fauna that reside in it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58cb6c4ebe65946ee839d428/1571662887286-7ACJE94FZ6UBX85I27IU/IMG_4320.jpg New Art in Perth's Historic Heart - 7. Peter Farmer Design Team Artwork on large planter box exhibited at 25 Murray Street, and 4 benches at the intersection of Hay Street and Hill Street Noongar Totem Stories “Throughout mine and my family’s professional art practices, we’ve investigated and developed a deep and intrinsic connectedness to the Noongar totemic section or our lore and ongoing customary practices. The project “Historic Heart” was a wonderful vehicle to showcase our very coastal connectedness to not merely, land-based totems, but also to the Indian oceans as well. My sister Laura and her Son Shannon have researched and developed more playful imagery around the oceans totems, such as the “Kwillena” the Dolphin, a popular one amongst our children throughout the dreamtime storytelling. Laura Farmer has gone further to include the Jellyfish to highlight the importance of his role in the waterways, rivers and ocean ecological systems. “Jellyfish play an important role in the oceanic food chain and the ecosystem. Jellyfish are carnivorous and feed mostly on zooplankton, comb jellies and other jellyfish. Large species of jellyfish feed on large crustaceans and other marine organisms”. The Karda’s (various goanna species) are also a major source of medicine within Noongar clans throughout the South West of the state and we wanted to highlight our traditional ecological knowledge base, with not simply plant medicines but also animal species as well. Yonga’s (Kangaroos) are a main staple in our diets and also provide clothing with the use of the traditional “Booka’s” (coats). Boyi’s (turtles), Djil Djit’s (Fish) and Karil’s (crabs) and the ongoing practices of families collections and gathering; to fish and go crabbing is something that we wanted to remind the wider community of its communal importance to our young people’s ongoing mental health and well-being around some more contemporary themes like ‘act, belong commit’. This process has been a lot of fun for myself, my Son Peter Jr, my sister Laura Farmer and her family/children, Shannon & Kael. We’ve shared stories passed down, by my late father & author of this regions “NOONGAR LANGUAGE” Dictionary, see link. Thank you, to Historic Heart and to ReSpoke for your involvement in such a great project that will bring a whole other more meaningful installation to Perth’s east end.” Peter Farmer, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58cb6c4ebe65946ee839d428/1571663548282-I0XHEN4UPDPETKL85VCS/James+Giddy+for+Historic+Heart+of+Perth New Art in Perth's Historic Heart - 4.
