Fanny Balbuk Yooreel: Life, legacy and emotions
Join a guided walk through Whadjuk landscape. A woman who experienced colonisation first hand, Fanny Balbuk was passionate about her country and ‘raged and stormed’ through her homelands as the new city of Perth developed. Wear walking shoes/hat.
This public symposium focuses on the experiences of Fanny Balbuk Yooreel, arguably the most important Whadjuk woman of the 19th century. Her powerful emotional story enables us to see the history of Perth in fresh ways. Hear presentations and discussions by leading academics.
