INDIGENOUS CULTURE Welcome to Yorta Yorta, Wamba Wamba and Barapa Barapa country. Murray River Council acknowledges the traditional owners on whose land we live, work and explore, and their rich culture and spiritual connection to country. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and celebrate their living culture and unique role in the life of our region. The Indigenous people of Murray River Country have a close affinity with the rivers and landscapes of this unique natural environment. Dhungala, the mighty waterway known today as the Murray River, winds its way through Yorta Yorta, Wamba Wamba and Barapa Barapa Traditional Lands where the original inhabitants and custodians have lived for tens of thousands of years. The Murray River and its environs are full of artefacts and evidence of Aboriginal habitation. Scarred trees, shell middens, cooking mounds, burial grounds, marker trees and sacred sites are all obvious reminders of the long and careful association and occupation of this land by the ancestors of the Yorta Yorta, Wamba Wamba and Barapa Barapa peoples. 12 / visitrivercountry.com.au Cultural Offerings visitrivercountry.com.au / 13 Making memories 14 / visitrivercountry.com.au Stay Outdoors With its great climate and spectacular natural areas, this region is an ideal destination for nature lovers, campers and outdoor adventurers.

Have you done your homework? Have you any WWTC memorabilia? As President of the WWTCAA these questions have been the challenges issued over the past year to our membership. I am pleased to report that the responses to these challenges have been fantastic. We have found more members and traced some of those lost to the mailing list. There are more alumni actively involved in organisation and operations of the association. Homework submissions for publication in Talkabout have come from a broad range of our membership and many of our retirees are digging into their garages and cupboards to find memorabilia for archives. How good is Talkabout? The contributions from members always make this publication an interesting read. Expressions of appreciation are always forthcoming. It certainly serves the function of keeping people informed and in touch with their colleagues and provides a forum for disseminating information about our association’s activities.
