Little Yarns

The sun is setting over Wiradjuri Country and things are getting quiet, but there's a friend in the trees that's just starting to wake up... Nathan shares all kinds of Wiradjuri words that come from wilay - the brushtail possum!

We're meeting our friend Nathan by the river. He's going to introduce us to his Country and a special piece of it that always makes him feel at home - the crow! 

It can be hard to say goodbye, it can bring on a lot of big feelings. But it can also mean returning to a place or person you've been missing. Let's head back to Wambaya Country one last time to say alima to Lynette. 

Lynette's favourite person is her little brother. He's always making her laugh! Let's head back to Wambaya Country to meet him and tell a few jokes...

When you step outside Lynette's backyard, all you can see is endless sky. That's why she gets so excited when she sees the clouds gathering – that could mean galyurringi!  

It's our last visit to Ndjébbana Country with Noni. Let's go for a walk together through the mangroves. Keep your eyes open for crocs!

We're back on Ndjébbana Country with Noni. Clouds are gathering overhead and the rain is coming. What will the new season bring? Let's take some time to sit and listen to the sound of maloya....

Noni takes us for a ride in her canoe to her mother's Country to yarn about her favourite things... the rain, mangroves and the sun!

Neenah loves when the wet season starts on Dharumbal Country, because it brings the rain and one of her favourite things to see in the sky... 

Let's head back to Dharumbal Country, and have a yarn with Neenah about her wise, old man. 

We're going to meet Neenah on Dharumbal Country in central Queensland, who's going to tell us about her family and connection to bidi moringa. 

We're having a Littler Yarn with singer and fellow Gamilaroi girl Loren Ryan! She's going to share some language with us and her Gamilaraay version of 'I Can Sing a Rainbow'.

Toby loves to yarn stories with his children, walking in his favourite place… among the scar trees. Let’s join him and learn about his mother country.

Let's head back to Kullilli Country to meet Toby in one of his favourite spots - catching yabbies by the river!

We're going to meet Toby on Kullilli Country in south-west Queensland for a smoking ceremony and to yarn about what makes us strong.

Listen to the river as Ebony shares the hidden meanings of her favourite Yorta Yorta placenames.

Today, we're back on Yorta Yorta Country with Ebony to sit in the sunshine and spot our favourite colours.

Today, we're sitting by the river on Yorta Yorta Country. Listen out for frogs, water birds and the Yorta Yorta word for water.

We're back on Adnyamathanha Country with Clayton where he shares a word with a few meanings in English. It's the word for story, history, songlines and legend.

We're back on Adnyamathanha Country and heading to school. Clayton shares the word for kid and how the best way to learn is to play!

We're heading to the red, rocky lands of the Adnyamathanha Nation, to meet Clayton and talk about our families.

Today on Gumbaynggirr Country, we're at the beach! We'll learn about totems, looking after the environment and listening to Country.

We're back on saltwater Country with Brittanie to hear a story and even learn a song in Gumbaynggirr!

Little Yarns is back and we're headed to Gumbaynggirr Country to meet Brittanie and learn the word you start all your yarns with...

Rudi is meeting up with Ann Jones from Noisy By Nature for a bushwalk on Dharawal Country. Together they’re listening to Country and trying their best to copy the sounds of the loud locals – a whipbird, clicking froglets, a plover and something green that makes a surprising sound. Join in for a Noisy Yarn!
