Women celebrated as 'backbones of our culture' at Yuin country gathering | ABC Australia

Yuin dancer and songwoman Sharon Mason has been reviving traditional cultural practices on the NSW far south coast for years, and inviting other women on her journey. Now, she is realising a long-held dream of bringing traditional gatherings back to country. Mason helped lead the largest cultural camp in living memory on the NSW far south coast, on Djiringanj land at Mystery Bay. Close to 100 men, women and children travelled from as far as Tamworth, Moree, Wellington, Taree and Maitland — and from across Yuin country — for the Yuin Dhugan camp. They visited sacred teaching areas, gathered traditional medicines and foods, and shared stories, songs and dances. And, sitting around the campfire, they made lifetime connections.
