Walawaani! Learn this Dhurga greeting by listening to teacher Kerry Boyenga and the students of St Mary's Primary School in Moruya.

Walawaani means "We hope you've had a safe journey here", or "We hope you have a safe journey home".

Dhurga is the first language of the NSW far south coast between Wandandean, Braidwood and Wallaga Lake.
