🌿🔥 DURRI MIYANDA WURINDJIN (FATHER & SON) CULTURAL CAMP – DAY 2! 🔥🌿

☀️ What a DEADLY second day on Country! 🖤💛❤️

Yesterday saw the weather finally turn in our favour, bringing sunshine, laughter, adventure and another incredible day of cultural learning and connection at our Father and Son Cultural Camp at Scotts Head! 🌞🌊

Our beautiful Dalai’s have been soaking up every moment, learning valuable cultural knowledge, strengthening connections and creating memories that will last a lifetime. ❤️

🛶 A very special thank you to Uncle John for generously sharing his wisdom, cultural knowledge and skills with our fathers and young fellas, teaching them the traditional art of canoe making. What a privilege for our Dalai’s to learn firsthand from our Elders, ensuring this precious knowledge continues to be passed down through generations. 🙌🏽

🎣 There was plenty of FUN IN THE SUN, with a fishing competition bringing out some friendly rivalry, along with learning how to catch beach worms! Plenty of excitement, laughter and new skills being shared along the way! 🐟🌊

🔥 As the sun went down, everyone came together around the campfire for a beautiful night of yarning, storytelling and connection. These are the moments that matter most — fathers, sons, carers and Elders sharing time, knowledge and strengthening the bonds that connect us to each other and our culture.

💛 This is what cultural healing and connection is all about! Strong fathers, strong sons, strong culture and strong futures.

Our camp wraps up on Friday, and what an incredible journey it has been so far! We can’t wait to see what the final day brings.

A massive thank you to our dedicated Durri team, our Elders and the Wunngatti Barriya team for making these experiences possible for our young ones.

🌿 Keeping our culture strong, our knowledge alive and our Dalai’s connected to Country! 🖤💛❤️

🌿 DURRI MIYANDA WURINDJIN CAMP – CONNECTING ON COUNTRY 🌿

Yesterday marked the beginning of our Durri Miyanda Wurindjin (Father & Son) Camp, with a powerful opening ceremony grounded deeply in culture, respect and cultural protocols. 🖤💛❤️

Our fathers, male carers and young men came together on Country, beginning a special few days of connection, learning and sharing knowledge across generations. Through cultural activities, yarning and time together, the camp is creating space for our men and young ones to strengthen relationships, connect with Country and pass on knowledge that has sustained our people for generations.

A very special thank you to the Wunngatti Barriya team and our Elders for generously sharing their cultural knowledge, guidance and support. Your contribution is helping create an experience our fathers and young men will carry with them long after the camp ends. 🙏🏾

And this is only the beginning… the next few days are going to be DEADLY! 🔥

Strong fathers. Strong sons. Strong culture. Strong community. 🖤💛❤️
