Mourning Country

"A personal tale of rising from the ashes of the New South Wales bushfires"

This film was made on the country of the Dhurga language group known as Yuin. We acknowledge and respect the people, the culture and the values of this land that has been nurtured by our ancestors for thousands of years so that we can learn and continue to support this practice and walk together—Noel Butler Mourning Country visits Noel Butler, a Budawang elder from the Yuin Nation, who lost his home and the aboriginal cultural center he founded with his wife Trish in one of the most destructive bushfire seasons in Australia’s history.
