Aunty Lyn Davis and Aunty Janice Paulson discuss their connection to Country and their memories of growing up on Tobwabba Mission in Forster on Worimi Country.


In the first episode of our podcast Conversations on Country, proud Worimi Elders Aunty Lyn and Aunty Janice share stories from growing up on the Mid North Coast of NSW, before their community was uprooted.
We had a good life. It was all about caring & sharing. We all had fruit trees, vegetable gardens, some of the men did the fishing... and it was all shared out.

Conversations on Country is a series of stories of place, culture and being, shared by Elders of the Gumbaynggirr, Biripi, Dunghutti and Worimi nations from the Mid North Coast of NSW.
