Welcome to the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri People. We are part of this land and the land is part of us. This is where we come from. Wominjeka Wurundjeri balluk yearmenn koondee bik. Welcome to Country. Have you ever wondered what a Welcome to Country is? Aboriginal communities across Australia have boundaries that are defined by mountain ranges and waterways. Traditionally, to cross these boundaries, permission is required. When this permission was granted the ceremony now called Welcome to Country took place. Each community had its own way of welcoming to country, and they still do today. This award-winning book is written and read by Aunty Joy Murphy AO, senior Wurundjeri elder of Melbourne and surrounds. Illustrated by Lisa Kennedy, a descendant of the Trawlwoolway People on the north-east coast of Tasmania.
