#102 Part 2 - People Want the Story
Heading out to the ceremonial grounds, with Bruno & Marion
Welcome to part 2 of episode 102 as we join Nyul Nyul Traditional Custodian Bruno Dann, and partner Marion, on a walk out to the old people’s camping, hunting and ceremonial grounds. To even write these words, I feel a wave rise within me. The conversations spring from the old trails we tread, connecting back in with some of the threads from part 1, and charting the journey of how Twin Lakes has emerged as such a compelling story.

“You guys go back somewhere, but you need to find out where it is. Just like a jigsaw, you got a lot o’ way to go to find it, but you will get there. You’ll be paid in the long run, you know, if efforts are made. It’s the effort you make in this world. And you’ll get something [like] what you deserve. ”
I’ve experimented a bit with this episode too. I’ve recorded Bruno and Marion as they were situated physically around me. This means you’ll hear Bruno in your right ear, and Marion in your left. See how it feels.
So join us as we gather back at camp at Twin Lakes Cultural Park, with Bruno and Marion. For a story that further highlights the enormous possibilities for regenerative economies and cultures right across the Kimberley and beyond.
Part 2 of this episode was recorded on-location at Twin Lakes Cultural Park, on Nyul Nyul Country, on the Dampier Peninsula in the West Kimberley region of Western Australia, on 6 August 2021.
