Kyla McHughes had the privilege of attending a Mallee fowl yarning circle at Salt Creek. The event brought together our Ngarrindjeri community and stakeholders to gain knowledge about the mallee fowl, guided by knowledge holders and Ngarrindjeri Elders Uncle Derek Gollan, Uncle Colin Koolmatrie, and Uncle Daryl Koolmatrie. Community was incredibly grateful for the Uncles generously sharing their knowledge.
Guest speaker Graham Tonkin also contributed valuable insights during the gathering. After yarning, the group ventured out on Country, where we were fortunate to spot a mallee fowl nest. The day was filled with learning, connection, knowledge sharing, not to mention the laughter and many engaging stories shared by the Uncles. It was truly an amazing day for all involved!
