Bilya Koort Boodja

I have visited twice and learnt a lot each time. Definitely worth a visit to learn more and appreciate the traditional owners, culture and land. There are displays for kids and adults. Probably takes 30min-1.5hrs to explore and read the large room of displays and activities.

My husband and I visited the center on Saturday 19th April, what an amazing place to visit, the history and the culture and the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable, a must do if you are in the area.

Modern. Soulful. Well presented. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the cultural center. The information was very good with personal stories, video presentation, hands on art installation and multi media was used extensively. I would highly recommend visiting this center.

An emotional and difficult place to visit. Highly recommend for all Western Australians. I learnt a great deal. Thank you.

Really well presented, a lot of interesting exhibits, and very interactive which kept the kids happy.

It is very important Australia comes to terms with the reality of its history and the present. This exhibition is well presented and helps develop that understanding.

Very interesting and informative. I would recommend a visit to learn a bit more about Indigenous culture and Western Australia history,

Nice looking bridge. Mentioned open from 9am daily, but wasn't open at 930am on a Sunday.

I was very excited to visit the now opened Bilya Koort Boodja Cultural Centre and it certainly didn’t disappoint.

We were welcomed by the lovely hosts at the centre who gave us a brief outline of the centre and then left us to discover and experience the displays at our own pace.

On entering the display area we were immediately enveloped by a beautiful digital Welcome to Country which used laser lights to create an underwater feeling. It was mesmerising.

The information, art, culture and education displays are beautifully set out and with the help of the digital guided tour speaker we could discover more as required.

At the centre of the displays is a digital gathering circle with three large portrait placed TV’s. The TV’s were placed around the circle almost facing each other and displayed a series of gathering discussions. Each TV displayed one person as part of the joint conversation. These conversations are natural and you feel part of the conversation. My fav was the three younger people having a conversation about their memories of growing up in Northam. It’s a well created personal conversation that provides a great insight to their perspectives.

On leaving our three lovely hosts were again joyous and bubbly. They were so excited to see what we thought as they appear to be so proud of the displays. And proud they should be. It was a heartwarming, informative, educative experience that I would recommend to anyone living in Northam or simply passing through.

Well done on creating such a beautiful experience and also hiring these fantastic ladies to be the hosts.

First Nations representation of the Northam area before white settlement definitely worth a visit but allow a minimum of 2 hours +.

The experience at the cultural centre in Northam was outstanding and a credit to all whom had an input into this wonderful place of history and learning. A great place to visit.

This is one of the place you must visit. It is a modern interactive museum about life of the local aboriginal people. Relatively low entry fee.

Very informative and great interactive technology! Easily spend an hour or 2 visiting all the exhibits!

A must see for every west Australian. I learnt more here about Nyoongar history and culture than all other australian museums put together.

This is has a fabulous educational display along with local product to buy. Very well laid out and incredibly interesting 💕

Was worth the drive from Perth, so much to see and interact with.

A must visit if you're passing through Northam. A real cultural exposure to the Noongar people

Great interactive centre. 💖

Very interesting
