Australia is full of diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations. From the Bunuba to the Wiradjuri, the clans of the Torres Strait to the palawa people, every mob has its own language and unique culture. Each episode will take you on a journey to a different Nation; to listen to the sounds of Country, share some language and have a little yarn.
We’ll travel south across the Bass Strait to lutruwita (Tasmania) and learn about the mums of palawa Country. Look out for crocs in Wadjigany waters, while we find out about the seasons in Batjamalh language. And keep your eyes peeled for an eight-legged creepy crawly, as we hear how Yawuru language has changed over time. There are hundreds of First languages to listen to and learn from!
Little Yarns is a co-listening podcast series for pre-schoolers. Ideal for families listening together at home or as a listening resource in early learning centres, Little Yarns explores the diverse languages, stories and Countries of Indigenous Australia.
