bagan, barra barra, mirriwarr | The Boys Who Found Their Way
Tyran Uddin and Kayden Wellington, with Kirli Saunders and Jaz Corr
Long, long ago, after the Dreaming, two Yuin boys go exploring on a bidhu (mountain) in search of food. They meet with animals of the bagan (land), barra barra (sea) and (mirriwarr) sky, who teach them about being on Country, connecting to the land and to each other.
Written by two boys aged 12 and 13, bagan, barra barra, mirriwarr | The Boys Who Found Their Way incorporates words from the Dhurga language of the Yuin people of the south coast of NSW.
Please note that the Dhurga language is never capitalised (except for the word Dhurga itself!).
