Title: Broome
Written on August 18, 2017 in the Ngikalikarra media website
Situated on the Western Australian Broome is a coastal, pearling and tourist town in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, 2,240 km (1,390 mi) north of Perth.
Country of the Yawuru and Djugun people who closely alongside the Nyikina people this amazing place is my home and the final point in the destination of our 'Protecting Country' journey which has taken us across 6,791 kilometres of Australia. We travelled safely despite wandering cattle, wild horses, kangaroos and wallabies at night.
The purpose of our trip was to deliver the 'Protecting Country' film on country, to return back to the sources of the story and to get feedback from everyone regarding the layout of the film, the authentic voice of the story and to ensure that those who appear in the film have adequate time to respond to the content that we selected to put the film together with.
We wish to thank many, many people who contributed to the financial backing of the journey and to the countless people along the way who gave us access to their homes, put us up at their expense, helped us in times of need and most importantly acknowledge and understood our need to return the film in the way that we did.
