If someone got lost on Country you could use language to find them, Country talks back - This Place

Added by First Languages Australia

'This Place' is a partnership between the ABC and First Languages Australia inviting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to create a short video about a place name, and the story behind it. Share with ICTV with support from the Community Benefit Fund.

Warrgamay place names provide a wealth of history and knowledge of Country. The words used to name places are in recognition of place or a person that came from that place, and provide connection to Country.
