Interview with Richard
Introduction

This site includes language words and recordings. We have some Dharawal recordings from the AIATSIS archives, and some new songs and words from speakers reclaiming the Sydney language or Dharug.

We also have set up a Dharug game on country for you to practise some of the lessons on this site. You can play in Chrome browser

Instructions: First scene is the welcome to country by Yellamundie who has passed away in 2021. The second level is a fly over of Sydney with discussion of country and weather. Select C to continue to next phrase, R to replay. When you replay you get subtitles in English or Dharug. When you fly over the University of Technology you will enter the next level. This is a 2D scene where people meet and greet.

Please complete feedback survey at https://forms.gle/wzDhJpNg3nyQ2fxa8 when completed for feedback

Local Country

Some talk about country you are on. This is based around Sydney, some areas in the city and the grounds of the university. There was a borah ground in the Ultimo/Chippendale area and it was used for educational purposes for many thousands of years. We want to speak about this again in our language

Talking about Country

These are examples that can be used in other applications as a wordlist or phrases. It is talking about our totem and our country. Also we want to extend this with more lessons about the weather and about our star trails.
