Significance of Country

This session deepens students’ understanding of Yurlu, the Kingfisher Man and enables them to become familiar with features of Adnyamathanha Country. They will use the interactive map to learn about each stage of his journey. They will compare features of their own Country with that of Adnyamathanha Country and create a ‘map’ of their own Country.
