A walk with Uncle Fred and Aunty Nell

The Aboriginal students of Ulladulla  Public School, Milton Public School, Ulladulla High School and Budawang School were lucky enough to be taken on a cultural walk with Uncle Fred.

Uncle Fred took the students through the Coomee Nulunga Cultural Track, Burrill Cave and the Dolphin Point Shell Middens. The kids were taught about all the different types of bush tucker and medicine and shell middens that are still in the area and their significance to Aboriginal people.
