Wadjak is a clan of the Noongar Nation in
the southwest of WA. The clan’s traditional
land extends covering the surround areas of
the Swan River westward towards Rottnest
Island and Garden Island; Carnac Island
10kms south west of Fremantle; inland to
beyond Mt Helena; at Kalamunda, Armadale,
Victoria Plains, south of Toodyay and western
district of York; at Perth through south along
the coast to near Pinjarra.
Wadjak people speak the northern dialect,
Djiraly, of the Noongar language. The people
are mostly non-fluent speakers who have
a partial or passive understanding of the
language.
Work on the Noongar language’s recording
and analysis for many years, was undertaken
by pastoralists and linguists. Further
research continues to retrieve and develop a
substantial language database of all clans of
the southwest.
Wadjak’s AIATSIS code is W9.
