Abstract

This study provides a protocolled landscape practice of cultural conciliation focusing on the Nyungar landscapes of the Caterpillar Dreaming under the Eldership of Dr Noel Nannup. The culmination of which develops a paradigm of understanding the emergent components of co-cultural, and conciliatory, shared-space between Nyungar and non-Nyungar peoples. The study saw one hundred and fifty participants walk five hundred kilometres of the Caterpillar Dreaming landscapes, capturing emergent experiential data through a collaborative auto-ethnographic journaling project. The Caterpillar Dreaming's conciliatory findings of new-shared knowledge offer a future potential toward understanding the liminal nature of [Australian] place.
