Goorramindi is a powerful and heartwarming tale about a noble freshwater crocodile who protects the river and all who depend on it. When a mischievous and dangerous crocodile named Walwarrangga snatches a young boy named Cory, it is Goorramindi who rises from the depths to save him. Rich in cultural meaning and resonating with the spirit of Country, this evocative story honours the balance of nature, the strength of guardianship, and the importance of respect in the deep, flowing waters of traditional lore.

These stories form part of our collective history, the way we speak of and live culture still today, and the importance of passing on such stories to younger generations. Dr. Anita Heiss, Ed. Growing up Wiradjuri is a collection of personal stories by Wiradjuri Elders. The writers are Uncles and Aunties who came of age in New South Wales in the 1950s and 1960s. In a strong collective voice, they share the difficulties of growing up under the rule of the welfare board. Some describe their experiences of evading capture by the welfare mob, or of being stolen and forced into state care away from their families.
