Wiradjuri Echoes Delight Us Again

GAP · 26 October 2020

Notice: This article is kept for historical reference. Some details may be outdated.

Duncan and Jacita of Wiradjuri Echoes aboriginal education group always give us such an energetic and powerful presentation. We learn about artefacts, we laugh at Duncan’s funny jokes, we sing Wiradjuri songs with Jacita to Duncan’s traditional music, we get to practice saying Wiradjuri words, we hear the rainbow snake creation story while Duncan draws us our own Aboriginal artwork to colour in, and once we have our warrior or berry princess face paint on we dance like kangaroos and rainbow snakes. It is a fabulous event!

What’s that boomerang for? Throw it at a bird…knock him out of the sky… put him on the fire… and nom nom nom!!! What? You don’t like that idea? Who likes chicken? Well then!

Duncan and Jacita with a mob of GAP kangaroo joeys! Ears up listening, boing, boing, boing, and jump up over the fence!
