Uncle Bruce Shillingsworth, a Muruwari and Budjiti man, invited us to attend Yaama Ngunna Baaka a festival of corroborees he organised on his country in Walgett, Brewarrina, Bourke and Wilcannia along lower Baaka (Darling River) and a final corroboree on the Menindee Lakes.

"Our rivers are the blood of the earth. Without water, nothing survives, there will be no life. We need our rivers to survive in order to survive ourselves." -Bruce Shillingworth https://mundagutta.com/corroboree-project
