“We want to see Country how it used to be. We want to continue to look after country and want it to look after us. We want our people to be back on Country, caring for and using Country like we always have. We want to share parts of our culture with the wider community so they learn about and respect Country like we do. We want everybody to work together to keep Country clean and healthy.”

Aunties Lorna Kelly, Dulcie Nicholls and Linda Vidler, 2003.

Nearly 6 months ago we left our home on Bundjalung Country to learn and grow and explore around Australia. Now, in Exmouth on the opposite side of the country, our experiences and perspectives have grown and changed dramatically.

I am writing to you from Wadawurrung Country in Anglesea, Victoria. Kowunduh and I are very grateful and excited to be staying with some friends in a house for a little while in this beautiful location, with amazing surf beaches and lots of exploring to be done.

It is exactly four weeks, 1 month, today since Kowunduh and I left our comfortable familiar life at home in Ocean Shores to explore and yumabalay/yumbalilla (travel) this Beautiful Country; to learn more about the knowledge this sacred land holds and in turn the knowledge held within ourselves.
