Boat Rock - 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.

The land surrounding Berrigan is flat as far as the eye can see — except for one rocky out crop hidden down a dirt road and surrounded by farmland. On this rocky outcrop is a waterhole and a manmade filtering system that is an estimated 5000 years old. Uncle Freddie Dowling tells the story behind this beautiful Country.
