Koolbardi wer Wardong - Bunbury

Aliwa yeyi! (Look out now)! Feathers will fly!

About the Show

Koolbardi the magpie and Wardong the crow are very proud, vain, jealous brothers. Their cunning, rivalry and one-upmanship brings them unstuck in spectacular fashion. Journey back to the Nyittiny, the time of Creation, where love, loyalty, betrayal and jealousy are all stretched to their limits.

Award-winning songwriters and storytellers, Gina Williams and Guy Ghouse, weave magic in this beautiful tale where pride always comes before the fall.

Don’t miss this acclaimed production at Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre.
