In this 45 minute podcast we head to Weyabul country, Baryulgil, a small Koori (Goori) community located in Bundjalung Country, about 75 km north west of Grafton, in far northern New South Wales to meet the fresh water people who, at the time of our visit, had grave concerns for their rapidly disappearing river.
Due to bushfires there weren't enough young people to make a music track and video so we yarned with the strong women left in this resilient tiny community and together created a short film Garrama (Respect).
Water and the loss of their river were at the heart of every yarn. They want you to hear what they have to say.
