5 x Educational Videos

In the first half of 2026, SharingStories Foundation worked in collaboration with the Taribelang Aboriginal Corporation, Taribelang Bunda Rangers, WYLD Projects Indigenous Corporation and Avoca State School to create a new suite of Taribelang Bunda films, animations and keducational resources.

Taribelang Bunda Country extends north to Baffle Creek, south to the Burrum River and west to the Mount Perry Ranges, encompassing the lands and waterways around Bundaburra (Bundaberg). This Country sits within the Taribelang Bunda, Gooreng Gooreng, Gurang and Bailai Native Title area and includes the largest saltwater turtle rookery on the eastern coast of Queensland, Australia.

The project includes four short films and two animations sharing Taribelang Bunda stories, knowledge and connections to Country, including the Meebar (saltwater turtle) and, Milbi (white-throated snapping turtle).Accompanying unit plans and activity sheets are mapped to the Australian Curriculum across Science, Visual Arts, HASS, and Health and Physical Education.
