Dhuluny
200 years of Wiradyuri resistance
Cultural Warning
We would like to advise everyone, especially First Nation’s Mob, that the following has words that are potentially upsetting and contains images of people who have returned Home to the Dreaming. We have been waiting for 200 years to tell our side of the story, it's a hidden history that many people still do not know and understand. Dhuluny is about truth-telling and our commitment to you throughout this week is to provide culturally safe spaces that are inclusive for all.

About Dhuluny
Dhuluny (Dhu-loin) is a Wiradyuri word for “truth”, “rightness”, or “gospel”, and means rectitude, that which is direct, straight, acting, living.
