Luke Russell & Shellie Smith – Niiarrnumber Burrai | Our Country

Join local Worimi man and Cultural Knowledge Holder Luke Russell as we walk the coast from Whibayganba (Nobbys Headland) around Tahlbihn (Fort Scratchley) ending atop of Tahlbihn (The Hill). From this vantage point we will take in views of Burrabihngarn

(Pirate Point Stockton), Yohaaba (Port Hunter) and Coquun (the Hunter River).

Dreaming, Stories, Cultural Practice and the significance of the surrounding landforms will be shared as we explore this beautiful Awabakal and Worimi County together. The destructive effects of colonisation on the Awabakal and Worimi people

and their country will be uncovered through the exploration of historical documents and truth telling with Awabakal descendent and Heritage.
