Welcome to Country

Illi Langi

Explore and understand your personal connection and kinship of belonging to Country, particularly your Grandmother’s country, within the Gadigal landscape of the Eora Nation within modern Sydney. As each day unfolds across the city, urban and rural Gadigal landscapes learn to see with Dreamtime eyes the ancient lores which influence and inspire a personal, powerful connection to the land. Learn how to navigate the ancient Aboriginal Songlines to read the evidence of the Dreamtime Places.

Look beyond the built up environment of the English settlers to the original salt water and fresh water landscapes and coastal harbor foreshores of the 29 clans of the Eora Nation, to experience the spiritual value and social and cultural importance of the land to the Aboriginal people.

About Margret

Born at sunset on the bend along the Macleay River and raised at Burnt Bridge in Dunghutti Country, “Muughi” (meaning Margret) was born into a family of 8 siblings, 4 brothers & 4 sisters.

Margret, as the youngest member of her family, was schooled from the age of 5 onwards in her traditional custodianship, the Baranbyatti Mirra Buuka or Dreamtime Southern Cross. Growing up on Dunghutti Country on the North East Coast of NSW and in Yuin Country on the South Coast of New South Wales, Margret considers herself to be one of the lucky ones and treasures the rich legacy of her family’s Cultural Dreamtime inheritance.

To spend time with Margret is to understand both the inherent living wisdom and practical relevancy of her Ancestor’s Dreamtime Blueprint and the tangible, multi-dimensional ways in which the Dreamtime still influences and shapes our modern individual and collective belonging to this land we affectionately call down under.

At 65 years young, Margret has experienced some of Australia’s most turbulent political decades of racial injustice, inequality and discrimination and the revolutionary initiatives that evolved as a result.
