Statement
Mount Toolbrunup in the Stirling Ranges, one of the many places named after Western Australia's first governor. In 1834, James Stirling led the Pinjarra Massacre. A group of twenty-five armed men attacked an encampment killing dozens of Noongar men, women and children. The original Noongar name for these mountains, Koi Kyeunu-ruff, means the place of ever-moving mist and fog.
