I hope so. I’ve been encouraged by the introduction of school classes, but adult classes are still difficult to find. In-school language education can never be comprehensive.

I’ve never visited Wonga Wetlands, Albury’s a different chunk of Wiradjuri country than my family’s from. There are cultural centres scattered around the place that are doing their best, and a few publications have been produced that I thought were absolutely fantastic.

g'day Hexy With the Wiradjuri language now being taught in some schools and with places such as the Wonga Wetlands do you think there is a chance these stories can be retained?

What a great project!

I wish something like this would be co-ordinated with our elders for some of the dying language/cultural groups in NSW. My own mental collection of wildlife stories from childhood is meagre, and those Wiradjuri with a more thorough connection to our tribal stories are a dwindling group.
