Foundations
The Gabbie Kylie Foundation
The Gabbie Kylie Foundation was set up in 2007 by the Noongar Traditional Owners of Esperance in partnership with National Trust of Australia (WA), to conserve and interpret the Indigenous cultural heritage values of Western Australia’s South Coast.
The Foundation has grown to become an important organization in the Esperance region, working across a range of fields, including archaeology, anthropology, heritage conservation, heritage interpretation and education, environmental restoration, ecology, youth mentoring, Indigenous employment, public education and much more.
The Dowark Foundation
The Dowark Foundation has been established to conserve and interpret the Indigenous heritage values of the South West of Western Australia, the Traditional Country of the Bibbulmun and Wadandi People.
The objective is to maintain and protect the environment, culture and heritage values of the South West.
The Foundation does this by coordinating a number of inter-connected educational and conservation projects as the platform for ongoing sustainable management of the Region’s history, heritage and cultural landscapes.
