In 2017 Dumbartung toured Capetown, South Africa via the Savanna.
We met officially with a number of internationally known organisations and institutions, including; The District 6 museum, Archbishop Tutu Truth centre, The king of the Khoisan nation and a tour of Robben island prison where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and wrote his famous autobiography - 'The long walk to freedom'.
We acknowledge the gratitude and kindness of the local people who hosted our visit.
This tour enabled us to benefit from discussions between our 2 nations who have both suffered genocide and the colonialism of the British empire.
This episode explores the deep traumas and legacies that still prevail today from past government policies.

Little Red Dots

In 2011 the CHOGM (Commonwealth Heads of Government) meeting was held in Perth, Western Australia.

The Queen of England visited for the occasion. During her trip she opened the newly constructed Clontarf college boarding house. Dumbartung Aboriginal Corporation is also situated on the same site. During the lead up to the visit, Dumbartung was visited on many occasions by several security organisations as they had a perception that Dumbartung may be a threat to the royal visit. This podcast details the extraordinary steps taken to try and deter Dumbartung staff from attending the royal visit.
