Connection to Country


Ngunnawal Country is more than just a location. It is a people, a language, and the stories of a strong and enduring culture.

At Birrigai we believe that connecting to Country is important. Our programs are designed to entwine visitors in learning: on Country, about Country, from Country and ultimately for Country so individuals gain an understanding of their obligations to care for Country.

This sense of connecting to Country is embedded in all the programs we offer and is a specific focus within Birrigai’s Indigenous perspective programs.
