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.

Delightful & Educational
This is the kind of show every kid should be listening to. It takes you on a tour of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations, teaching you a few words inthe various languages and hearing them tell their stories.
It's a great resource for young kids to check out with their families.
It’s so much fun
If you like Bluey and it’s got to be done you will love this podcast. A podcast that makes me think of Arthur’s a word from kids and Bluey mixed in one and it’s so much fun. Hooray. I will listen to this a lot.
