Our Bedtime Stories 2, Episode 17: Gooroo and Marrara (Freshwater Mangrove and Wild Plum)

Story by Mervyn Street in the Gooniyandi language. This episode was produced by Pilbara and Kimberley Aboriginal Media (PAKAM) at Rocky Pool in the Fitzroy Valley, WA.

Our Bedtime Stories presents stories for children in Indigenous languages, using traditional storytelling techniques together with animation, music and film. The Our Bedtime Stories series is much more than a parenting tool to get kids to sleep. The series is helping to preserve Indigenous languages across Australia.

Season two of the series has been produced by ICTV in partnership with Barkly Regional Arts, Pilbara and Kimberley Aboriginal Media (PAKAM), Goldfields Aboriginal Language Centre, and Elizabeth Langslow working with the Warruwi Community on Goulburn Island.

ICTV, showing our way.
