The title of this stamp issue, Ngana Nyitting, translates as 'My Dreaming' in the Yamatji (Ngang) and Nyungar (Nyitting) languages. Artist Kevin Bynder was born in Boorloo / Perth in 1975 to a Whadjuk-Yued Nyungar mother and a Widi-Badimia Yamatji father.
Whadjuk Boodja (Country) is located in the Nyungar Country of Boorloo (Perth).
This stamp shows parts of Whadjuk Country. Whadjuk is one of the 14-Nyungar tribes os south-west Western Australia. The Karak (black cockatoo) can be seen when rain is coming, and the Balga (Grass tree) is plentiful around Whadjuk Country.
The Balga stump is good for lighting fires: the resin is very flammable and can also be used to hold object together like tools and weapons.
The hills are the Kaart-Morda (Darling Range), said to be the body of the Waagyl (the Rainbow Serpent). After she created the land, she lay dormant and resting in the Dreamtime.
The coin's reverse represents an illustration of Karak (black cockatoo), Kurulbrang (kangaroo paw), Balga (grass tree) and the Kaart-Morda (Darling Range). As well as the artist's initials and the year-date, the reverse also incorporates The Perth Mint's 'P' Mintmark.
Issued as legal tender under the Australia Currency Act 1965, this uncirculated coin is housed in a beautifully designed card inside an illustrated envelope.
Affixed to the envelope is a $1.70 official Australia Post stamps. The stamp is postmarked for the first day of issue and the envelope includes Australia Post's Seal of Authenticity.
Postmarked First Day of Issue 16 September 2025, Perth WA 6000.
