DEVELOPMENT IN AND AROUND WALMADANY/JAMES PRICE POINT- STILL A THREAT
Woodside Petroleum pulled out of the proposal to process LNG at Walmadany in April this year, which has been a massive relief for the Goolarabooloo and other people in the Broome community.Unfortunately the fight continues to save this land, it's Songlines and the Lurujarri Heritage Trail, as WA Premier Colin Barnett is continuing his push to compulsorily aquire the land. He is intent on building a port as part of his plan to industrialize the Kimbereley and in his own words, tranform Broome into 'the next Dubai'.

We are currently developing the educational outcome that will accompany the film. This is a big project and we are also seeking funding for this aspect which will include an interactive website and study guide linked to the Australian National Curriculum.

SYNOPSIS
Paddy
Roe- the late Senior Goolarabooloo Custodian- won an order of
Australia medal for initiating the Lurujarri Heritage Trail in 1988.
His vision encompassed the Goolarabooloo tribe walking together with
non-indigenous people along their Songline, learning about the
Goolarabooloo way of life and spiritual connection to country.Today,
the Goolarabooloo are still carrying out his vision, albeit the
pressures of the resource industry.
This
28 minute animated documentary outlines the Goolarabooloo tribe’s
recent history and rich cultural connection to country, using the
nine day Lurujarri Heritage Trail as it’s main structural thread.
The main narrator, a young Goolarabooloo tracker named Brian
Councillor, guides the viewer along the Lurujarri Heritage Trail,
introducing people and places. Stories are told by a number of
Goolarabooloo people, young, old, male and female, and particular
stories are told in specific places along the trail – correlating
with the history or dreaming story of that place. Bugurregurre or
Dreaming stories are accompanied by animated sequences, as are
explanations of the Songcycle and its’ importance in transmitting
cultural knowledge. The crucial role of Paddy Roe and his
remarkable legacy are highlighted along the way, as is the story of
his spiritual connection to the coastal country.
HOW
IT BEGAN
It
was through the Lurujarri Heritage Trail that Bernadette met the
Goolarabooloo community in 2002, as hundreds of others have done in
the past 25 years. In 2009 I returned to Broome to visit the
Goolarabooloo again , and this documentary was the outcome of a
conversation with the community there. Since then we have recorded
oral stories, pored over scripts and storyboards over countless cups
of tea. The creative team has grown over time to accomplish a rather
large task, and to bring in expertise for specific components of the
project.
The film received a $5000 grant from the Hamer Family Fund, and over a hundred people supported the project with online donations through two rounds of crowdfunding - one through Pozible. The majority of this film was self-funded and made possible by the generosity of creatives providing pro-bono work.

GENERAL
OUTCOMES
To
be screened at local and international film festivals, broadcast TV,
and most importantly to be distributed to the Goolarabooloo
community.
EDUCATIONAL
AND COMMUNITY OUTCOMES
The
next step will be an online educational package to accompany the
documentary. Alongside this an audio archive for the community
will utilize the many hours of oral recordings with the
Goolarabooloo, including recordings of traditional language - a
crucial element of this archive.
