Four player arcade game, light and sound. With thanks to Lester Asperga for installation support.  

Yawa means journey in Boon Wurrung language. Up to four players each become a possum spirit (walert marrup) as they explore a colourful world filled with Boon Wurrung language. As the possum spirits move about the world they reveal words about place that are spoken by N’arwee’t Carolyn Briggs and appear also on the game map. These words describe aspects of what once was in South Melbourne, a rich wetland filled with plants, flowers, animals in which places like Emerald Hill were gathering sites for the Yalukut Weelam of the Boon Wurrung for thousands of years.
