Hundreds of Traditional Owner Groups and languages existed prior to settlement, many hundreds of countries and homelands within the land that is called Australia. Symbols were etched, painted or burned into pieces of wood to convey messages and handed to the Senior Leaders from the visiting Clan. Symbols were recognised throughout Traditional Owner Groups and were a widely understood language. Messages may have conveyed news of Ceremony for marriage or death, for important trade or for asking permission to pass through another’s country.

My connection to country

My inspiration

My people are river people, we are spiritually connected to the Dhungala (the Murray River) and the Birrarung (the Yarra River). I grew up around these rivers, I grew up between Cummergunga on Yorta-Yorta country and at the foothills of the Dandenongs at Corranderk on Woiwurrung land. These are the resting places of my ancestors.
