bagan, barra barra, mirriwarr | The Boys Who Found Their Way

Long, long ago, after the Dreaming, two Yuin boys go exploring on a bidhu (mountain) in search of food. They meet with animals of the bagan (land), barra barra (sea) and (mirriwarr) sky, who teach them about being on Country, connecting to the land and to each other. Written by two boys aged 12 and 13, The Boys Who Found Their Way incorporates words from the Dhurga language of the Yuin people of the south coast of NSW. Please note that the Dhurga language is never capitalised (except for the word Dhurga itself!). More about the boys: Tyran Uddin is 13 years old. He lives in Jervis Bay and attends Vincentia High School. Tyran is a descendant of the Yuin Nation from the Gumea Dharawal and Walbunja tribes. Fun fact: He competes in Muay Thai and Jujitsu. Kayden Wellington is 13 years old. He lives in Sanctuary Point and attends Vincentia High School. He’s from Walbunja/Yuin Country and enjoys playing soccer and the didgeridoo. —- ISBN: 9781923179219 | ISBN10: 1923179217 | ISBN-13: 978-1923179219
