Yellagonga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- See also: Aboriginal History of Western Australia
Yellagonga was the leader of the Whadjuk Noongar on the north side of the Swan River (Aboriginal = Derbal Yaragan). Colonists saw Yellagonga as the owner of this area. However, land rights were also traced through women of the group. Yellagonga could hunt on wetlands north of Perth because of his wife YanganÃs connections to that land.
[edit] Heritage
Yellagonga Regional Park, around Lake Joondalup has been named after him.
