  • This A2-size poster is based on the Kaurna word book Ngaityu Mudlirna (My Things), developed by Batchelor Press in collaboration with the Kaurna Warra Karrpanthi organisation. The book is part of a suite of three titles for early learners of Kaurna language which were produced by Labhaoise Upton, Jack Buckskin, Nakia Ellis, Shane Mankitya Cook and Rob Amery. Part of the charm of these resources is the illustrations which were provided by primary school children from the Kaurna and broader Adelaide community. The accompanying word list poster for Piipawardli Kuungka (Inside my School) is available at: http://batchelorpress.com/node/417

  • Bornorron Warrag

    Brolga and Catfish

    Bornorron Warrag is a Wardaman story as told by Sally Wiynmarr of how the catfish (warrag) got the mark on its head in an encounter with the brolga (bornorron). It is a story relating to a particular area of Wardaman country on the Flora River which is the country of Sally's father, the late Joe Jomornji. The Flora River (about 120km southwest of Katherine) is famous for its emerald-coloured waters which are fed by many springs which come up through limestone rock which is what gives the river its rich colour.
