Djiringanj Yuin knowledge-holder Warren Foster explains the sacred significance of Mother Mountain, Gulaga, and shares his ancestors’ prescient view from the shore at the time Captain Cook first sailed past his country.

In collaboration with the National Museum of Australia’s exhibition marking the 250th anniversary of Captain Cook’s voyage to Australia, this collection focuses on the history and culture of Indigenous communities along Australia’s east coast, from the locations Cook wrote about in his journals from that fateful voyage.

The National Museum of Australia’s exhibition, Endeavour Voyage: The Untold Stories of Cook and the First Australians, which is now open. The online exhibition can be viewed here https://www.nma.gov.au/exhibitions/en...

Thank you to Warren Foster for sharing his time and knowledge.
