14.01.2022 Early in 2020, we installed a digital sign at Birubi Point designed by Aboriginal artist Jason Russell. We are very excited to announce that this week that sign... has a new video gracing it's screen! In this video, Worimi Elder, Uncle Graeme Russell, tells the Dreamtime story of the creation of the Worimi Conservation Land. We are extremely grateful to Uncle Graeme for being so generous with this story and teaching us about the spiritual significance of Country. This video was created in partnership by Port Stephens Council and Worimi Local Aboriginal Land Council and was proudly funded by the NSW Government.
