Aboriginal Elders show their remote NSW community to visitors
This is the place where the Freedom Riders assembled in 1965 to protest against the barring of Aboriginal ex-service people from membership. Today you can buy a meal, enjoy air-conditioned facilities including Friday night entertainment.
This logo shows the totem animals of the Dharriwaa Elders Group - Elders from three Aboriginal nations. The wayamba (short-necked turtle) for the Yuwaalaraay people, the dhinawan (emu) for the Ngayiimbaa people, and the bawurra (red kangaroo) for the Gamilaraay people. A gidjiirr (Acacia cambagei), an important hardwood tree for medicine and tools, is in the background
