“On Flinders Island in Bass Strait sits a little-known place, significant to not only Tasmanian and the nation’s history, but global history.”

A great piece by Kerrin Thomas has been aired on SBS News on our Truth Telling at Wybalenna project. This short but in-depth story features truwana Rangers Buck Brown, Rebecca Digney, Sarah Wilcox and Mat Hinds. It dives into the history and shares the process of healing through restoration.

The flag raising at the beginning of NAIDOC Week also makes an appearance, along with interviews with Aunty Lillian Wheatley and organiser Jazmin Wheatley.

This project of international significance demonstrates why land return and land justice benefit Tasmanian Aboriginal people, and offers a place for truth and healing for all who visit.

Kerrin’s approach and relationship with us all have been highly respectful and full of care for us and our story. We deeply appreciate the way this was done and the knowledge sharing we all experienced.

Nayri nina-tu Kerrin.
