Mooley the Cow & other Ballardong Yarns

Saturday 21st February 2026
(Multiple Dates Between Saturday 21st February 2026 & Sunday 22nd February 2026)


Millett, the wife of the Vicar of Trinity Church, lived in York during the 1860s. Her writing is unusual for its time: witty, empathetic and sharply observed. Of particular significance to the Noongar community is her recorded engagement with the Ballardong Noongar—nursing, employing, and fostering cross-cultural exchange—offering a rare lens through which Indigenous lives and cultural practices are seen. More than 150 years on, the book remains in print and continues to spark conversation.
