Yaamandaay!

We are excited to launch Yaluu Ngiyani Bawili and Yungki Murrawarri Projects on Thursday 9th April 2026 at the Goondee Aboriginal Keeping Place.

Both projects involved song writing, music production and sound engineering. These projects were completed locally with children and adults over the course of two years. It is intended that all songs will be readily available for community to use as resources to strengthen and revitalise our Aboriginal Languages at home and in community, and to reinforce a sense of pride and respect for culture and creative practice.

Come and share in a special evening of live performances, music and light refreshments as we honour the strength of our languages through the voices of our people, young and old.

Dhugay ngurrambaa-gu, bamba ngiyani bawildanha. Always for Country, we are singing loudly!

Please RSVP to [email protected] by 30 March. We look forward to celebrating with you!

PS… Performers and artists will be announced and profiled closer to the launch date.

This camp has been such a wonderful experience for our Ridge students.
So happy that they had the opportunity to attend.
Big thank you to NSW Aboriginal Land Council for getting all the Junior Rangers to Lennox Head to be part of it.
