Kurnai woman Helen Brotherton held a stall at 'Reconciliation in the Park' demonstrating to young and old how to weave coil baskets. Aunty Helen remembers being taught as a young girl by her Grandmother when she was at Lake Tyers. Aunty Helen was busy getting everyone started on their baskets on the day and still had time to dance and talk to NITV Radio to share some of her story.
