WELCOME TO COUNTRY (BOARD)

Welcome to the lands of the Wurundjeri people. The people are part of the land, and the land is a part of them. Aboriginal communities across Australia have boundaries that are defined by mountain ranges and waterways. Traditionally, to cross these boundaries, permission is required. Each community has its own way of greeting, but the practice shares a common name: Welcome to Country. Aunty Joy Murphy Wandin, senior Aboriginal elder of the Wurundjeri people, channels her passion for storytelling into a remarkable and unique picture book that invites readers to discover some of the history and traditions of her people.
