Wadawurrung language: Wurdi Youang

Wadawurrung country stretches from the mountains to the sea. It includes hills, rivers and grassy plains, creeks and coasts and includes modern towns such as Werribee, Geelong and Ballarat in Victoria. Since colonisation, white fellas have tried to write down our Wadawurrung language, even though there are no equivalent sounds in English. We had no written language so early settlers wrote down what they heard using their own language trying to reproduce the sounds. In this series of short films we correct some of the language spelling of the places we all know and explain the meaning behind our stories. Language needs a place to live, and this is a chance for us to tell our stories and our language. Our language is sleeping, but will soon reawaken. This video is set in Wurdi Youang, which means big hill in the middle of a plain. It is located about 60km south-west of Melbourne and is now known as the You Yangs. Here we explain the story behind how this impressive series of granite ridges, was formed and why it is part of an ancient song line. Story: Bryon Powell Producers: Tammy Gilson & Larissa Romensky Animation: Stephanie Skinner Actors: Rhyder Harrison This video was originally contributed to the ABC Open Mother Tongue project, which invited Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to share a story about their mother tongue.
