Yuin Country Explored

2020 marked 250 years since Captain Cook lead the HMB Endeavour on a voyage of Australia's east coast in 1770. This has significance for Eurobodalla as stories of the region are mentioned in Captain Cook's diary, and are embedded in local Aboriginal culture. The significance and impact on our First Nations people cannot be overstated.

Yuin Country Explored was originally designed as a series of outdoor exhibitions and events aiming to facilitate new Aboriginal art and culture activities, but due to COVID it was adapted to a short documentary film, Yuwinj-Dhari Bulwal-Yuin Country Explored.

This documentary features Yuin dance, stories and artwork as it celebrates the spirit, resilience and strength of the Yuin Nation. The film helps share our region's history, culture and connection to country from a First Nation's perspective.
