A Special Place

“The Willandra lakes is a very special place, as it tells us about how our ancestors once lived, evidence of how they survived an ice age, clues to what animals they ate and how they hunted them. Not only is this place significant for Aboriginal people but also for Non-Aboriginal people to learn about human history.”

-Ivan Johnson, Barkandji/Paakantyi Custodian

About the App

The Barkandji/Paakantyi, Mutthi Mutthi, and Ngiyampaa people of Mungo welcome you to Mungo Stories, Walk Together.

There are 10 cultural stories to find, located at story markers placed around the park. The voices you will hear are the living Traditional Custodians, the Barkandji/Paakantyi, Mutthi Mutthi, and Ngiyampaa people.

Some of the images you see were drawn and animated by the children of Mildura Primary School as well as by Ngiyampaa artist Nola Taylor and SharingStories Foundation, led by us.

This app is a collaboration between the Willandra Lakes Region World Heritage Aboriginal Advisory Group, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and SharingStories Foundation.
