Get a taste of what it is like at different times of the year, and listen to our stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLaklak Burarrwanga and family invite you to their Country, centred on a beautiful beach in Arnhem Land. Its crystal waters are full of fish, turtle, crab and stingray, to hunt; the land behind has bush fruits, pandanus for weaving, wood for spears, all kinds of useful things. This country is also rich with meaning. 'We can go anywhere and see a river, hill, tree, rock telling a story.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere too is Laklak's own history, from her long walk across Arnhem Land as a child to her people's fight for land rights and for a say in their children's schooling. She and her family stand tall, a proud and successful Indigenous community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Yolngu world, we have a library in the land. You can't destroy it. If you burn it, it grows again. The land is full of more knowledge than you can imagine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Welcome to My Country is a beautifully warm, inviting experience. As soon as I read 'When the moon goes past you can see its reflection (in the water) like the inside of your heart', I knew this would be a very special read. Being immersed in an 'experience' is the way I would describe this book. It is an enticing journey into the heart of Yolngu life, in all its wonder across the physical, artistic and spiritual world. I love the conversational style - we walk, talk and sit down with family on every page. Lovely.'   - Ros Moriarty, author of Listening to Country\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laklak Burarrwanga","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43176920056051,"sku":"9781743313961","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781743313961.jpg?v=1662090856","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/welcome-to-my-country-laklak-burarrwanga-9781743313961","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
