Introducing Yiradjinda • Under the Stars

Introducing Yiradjinda • Under the Stars

We are very proud to share our new overarching holiday parks brand, Yiradjinda, created in collaboration with Cultural Custodians Undalup Association Inc. and part of our Jenna Yen Mundamung - Walking Together - Strategy.

Yiradjinda translates to Under the Stars in Wadandi, recognising and celebrating the ongoing contribution local First Nations people make to our community and in caring for our local environment. For visitors it's an invitation to down tools, look up and to appreciate the unique and abundant nature found in our South West corner.

Shire President, Julia Meldrum said she was excited to bring a message of unity, connection and shared responsibility for the environment to the region’s many visitors through the new brand.

“We’re incredibly grateful to the local Wadandi Cultural Custodians for sharing their rich knowledge and culture with us and believe Yiradjinda provides an opportunity to continue our journey together and deepen the experience for visitors staying in our beautiful parks on Wadandi Boodja (Country),” she said.

“At its heart, Yiradjinda is about connecting to and looking after the beautiful environment we all call home. It brings together the existing history and charm of the parks and intertwines cultural knowledge that encourages people to take notice of the flora and fauna around them.”

Ms Meldrum said each of the parks would retain their existing historical names and would also be complemented with a Wadandi name linked to the unique geographical location of each park.

“We introduced dual-naming of key buildings across the region in 2023 and are delighted to have Wadandi names for each holiday park too."
