Ben Flick, an Aboriginal man from the Kamilaroi language group of north-western NSW, identifies various native plants at Wirrabilla near Collarenebri and how they were used by Aboriginal people in the past. He speaks about whitewood, native grasses, quinine, river red gum and melaleuca trees. This documentary is one of nineteen that comprises the Through Our Eyes series features Aboriginal Elders and knowledge-holders from the Ngemba, Kamilaroi and Euahlayi language groups in north-western NSW (Brewarrina, Walgett and Lightning Ridge) describing the land management practices and social, spiritual and cultural knowledge that enabled their people to care for the country for tens of thousands of years.
Thank you for opening my eyes and heart. This series should be showed to all Australian children. This knowledge is important not just for Aboriginal's but for all humans inhabiting this land. With enormous gratitude Jax -
