The site of the festival looks beautiful. Re your FYI - these are also customs in the Mid North coast of NSW where the Dunghutti people live. I'm wondering if it's a nationwide custom as my daughter tells me the Wiradjuri people in the Riverina NSW area also have these customs. <br />Cheers,<br />RobynRobynLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050372484207822842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-46728389935274711522012-02-13T08:46:08.639+10:002012-02-13T08:46:08.639+10:00Hi Rhonda,

It shows that community spirit is flourishing in some places and makes me feel good to read it. Your scones look so nice too! I like to read about Aboriginal customs and this one is very interesting.<br /><br />There are times when I read your blog that I feel all is well in the world.<br /><br />Have a good day,<br />Vicki xxVickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08562932795668029251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-88728769345869958082012-02-13T08:45:01.154+10:002012-02-13T08:45:01.154+10:00HI Rhonda,

I often think of the stories she told us( she is the BEST storyteller!)and remember her with great fondness. My students were mesmerised and loved it too. I wish all kids could have the benefit of hearing Aunty Bev tell these special stories about the Indigenous peoples and how their lives changed forever with the arrival of the British. She is a gem.Vanilla Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12329011537931156373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-34565693539166915852012-02-13T08:43:55.646+10:002012-02-13T08:43:55.646+10:00That sounds like a wonderful community day .
