Kalagaudi

Kalagaudi is an Australian Aboriginal word, primarily associated with the Noongar people of Western Australia. It typically refers to a specific type of hard, dark-colored wood, often used for making tools and implements. The specific tree species that yields Kalagaudi wood can vary depending on the region and local knowledge. It is known for its durability and resistance to wear, making it a valuable resource in traditional Noongar culture. Beyond its practical uses, the Kalagaudi wood and the trees from which it comes can also hold cultural and spiritual significance within Noongar traditions. The word itself, and its specific meaning, can also vary slightly across different Noongar dialectal groups.
