Danjoo Koorliny Walking Together Project Closed 30th September 2025
The Co-Directors wish to share that the Danjoo Koorliny Walking Together project ended on 30 September 2025, as our funding has now reached its end.
Since 2019, Danjoo Koorliny has worked to bring people together across Western Australia to walk toward 2029 and beyond. Over six years, we held festivals, summits, workshops, and on-Country gatherings. We engaged more with community participants, supported over 150 Aboriginal businesses, and partnered with government, community, and industry to make real change.
This work has not only strengthened cultural understanding but has helped embed Aboriginal voices in planning, policy, and education. Together, we have built momentum toward a more respectful and connected Western Australia.
While the project itself will finish, the vision does not. The foundations we have built—truth-telling, cultural leadership, stronger partnerships—remain. We hope that our allies will continue this journey, carrying the path we have walked together through to 2029 and beyond.
We thank every Elder, community member, partner, and supporter who has stood with us.
Danjoo Koorliny is a large-scale, long-term, systems-change
movement designed and led by Aboriginal people to help us all
walk together towards 2029
(200 years of colonisation in Perth), and beyond.
Our initiative, established in 2019, focuses on improving the relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in Western Australia.
We promote understanding, reconciliation and respect between our communities.
Danjoo Koorliny engages in activities such as community events, workshops, cultural exchanges, on-country experiences and education programs, fostering a deeper understanding of Aboriginal culture, heritage and history. We create opportunities for dialogue, storytelling and sharing knowledge between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people to build stronger relationships and promote reconciliation.
By elevating Aboriginal culture Danjoo Koorliny will create a better future for everyone.
Across our four recognised pillars of environment, social, economic and culture, fundamental change is needed. The time is right to drive significant change for future generations.
The leaders of Danjoo Koorliny are Dr Noel Nannup OAM, Dr Richard Walley OAM, Carol Innes AM and Jahna Cedar OAM.
Our Ambassadors are The Honourable Kim Beazley AC, Janet Holmes
à Court AC,
Professor Fiona Stanley AC & Professor Stephan Hopper
AC.
DANJOO KOORLINY
is a complex concept to translate from
Noongar to English.
One translation
could be 'going together to the future', or it
could be simply translated as 'walking
together'.
Dr Richard Walley OAM
Danjoo Koorliny is a vision
It’s our Djinda - our collective star to guide us towards 2029. It is the values that we embody. It’s the sum of our collective actions that take us to where we need to be in order to create a 2029 we can all be proud of. It is belonging to no organisation but hovers above us and aligns us so that we can care for everything.
My sister once said to me... All we need to do is to have a piece of the path to the future. And that’s ours, and we polish that and we hone that, and we place that in the pathway that we are building... As we build that pathway, it changes us as the builders of the path, and it also shapes the destination that we are going to.
Dr Noel Nannup OAM
We have a vision set for the next 10 years, and that is to care for everything.
Dr Noel Nannup OAM
Everything is based on codes.
Dr Richard Walley OAM
Nothing like this has ever happened before. This is the thing that can hold Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people together.
