A Noongar historian is leading a team to record the Noongar language online in a Wikipedia format where words and phrases can be added over time. Professor Len Collard from the University of Western Australia has teamed with Curtin University to record the language. While around 40,000 First Nations people identify as Noongar, there are less than 250 fluent speakers of the language. Professor Collard believes the new tool will preserve and revitalise the Noongar language.

Mick Gooda presented as a gracious, humble man - and also as a great warrior for justice. His response to the call from local Nyungar leader, Jim Morrison, to fight injustice by the state govt towards an Aboriginal family (Native Title issue), was very 'Rob Riley'! See more on Gooda's leadership in today's 'The Australian'.
