Culture & Heritage
"Emu" by Bev Coe
Aboriginal heritage, historical societies and arts & crafts
The Wiradjuri People have left their mark upon the landscape - Manna Mountain has ancient axe grooves, Yellow Mountain with its fossil finds and Mount Tilga provides a breathtaking view of the surrounding country.
The Wiradjuri people have lived here for many thousands of years and have left their stamp on the region. Currently an oral history project is underway to record some of the stories of the old days.
A small, enthusiastic group of aboriginal people are carrying on the tradition of didgeridoo playing, dance & boomerang throwing. Our local aboriginal artists are hard at work producing stories and depictions of their rich heritage.
