Summary
Yonga the Kangaroo and Waitch the Emu have been good friends for a very long time. But Waitch has slowly started to grow envious of Yonga’s beautiful snowy white coat. On a sweltering hot day Wiatch comes up with a devious plan to get Yonga’s coat all for itself!
Yonga and Waitch, based on a Dreamtime Story of the Nyoongar People, is timeless and provides a rich, direct and continued connection to the Nyoongar ancestors that have come before.
