❤️🔥 THE DATES ARE SET — DHUWARR YUGAL IS COMING HOME 🔥❤️

I’m so excited to finally share the dates for something that has been growing in our hearts for a long time.

25th • 26th • 27th September 2026
📍 Boggabilla NSW — Kamilaroi Country

Dhuwarr Yugal — Bread Song & Dance

This is more than an event.

We are coming together to re-member our old ways — our native grains, our bread making, our stories, our song and our dance.

Hands in dough.
Feet on Country.
Stories in motion.
Our families together. ❤️

Dhuwarr is about remembering that our people were making bread on this Country for thousands and thousands of years. That knowledge lives in our old people, in Country and in us.

Over three days, we will gather to bring the Dhuwarr story into song and dance, creating something our children and grandchildren can carry forward.

Carried by culture. Held by women. Passed on together.

I’ve been waiting to announce this one. 🥹❤️

Save the dates, you mob — we’re going home. 🔥

More details coming soon.

Dhuwarr — Bread from Country.
Remembering who we are through Country, story and the sharing of bread.

‘We have called this work tarnuk-al barring-u (The Tarnuk’s Journey) because its journey is as important as the object itself. This tarnuk was carved from the burl of a fallen limb of yingabeal, the pre-colonial Songline Tree near the entrance to what is today called Heide.

‘yingabeal is one of our most sacred Ancestor Trees and it’s estimated to be up to 500-700 years old. As young Wurundjeri artists, it has been a profound privilege and responsibility to work with material from such a significant tree. This work reflects our role as Narrap Rangers: caring for Country by carrying our cultural practices forward across our lifetimes.

‘After yingabeal was significantly damaged by a severe storm, the burl that this tarnuk has been carved from was brought to garambi baanj (Laughing Waters) by following conversations with our Elders the morning after the storm. It was then entrusted to us through our work as artists and wurundjeri Narrap Rangers.

‘We later took the burl to Coranderrk where, over more than a year, we worked together to shape it into this tarnuk. Each of us brought different skills, methods and tools to the carving, and every mark reflects our shared respect for the material, our culture, and yingabeal. Now, the tarnuk has returned to this place to continue its journey.’ — Damien Nicholson, Ash Firebrace and Edward Mullins
