"Place of the Eels" -Christopher Tobin- Burramatta home of the eels. The ‘barra’ (eel) was an important food source for the local Baramadagal. In autumn the #Parramatta lagoons had abundant food as eels prepared for a 5000km Coral Sea journey. #Dharug #NAIDOC #ChristopherTobin #Aboriginal #Art #Eels
"Place of the Eels by Christopher Tobin honours Parramatta - or Burramatta - as the home of the eels. This year’s NAIDOC theme ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy' reflects on the Dharug people's enduring knowledge systems and the importance of passing their stories on. Tobin explains that the ‘barra’ (eel) was an important food source for the local Baramadagal. Each Autumn, the lagoons around Parramatta provided abundant food as mature eels prepared for their 5,000km journey to the Coral Sea to give birth to the next generation. These seasonal gatherings drew Aboriginal groups from across the region together to share knowledge, celebrate culture, and build a legacy."

I've decided to do a separate post for the highlight of Burramatta NAIDOC Festival: the music. Artists included Wiradjuri/Gadigal singer-songwriter Akala Newman and political rapper Dobby. Links to their music in the comments (it's worth checking out!)

The main stage in purple on the left. A crowd sits on yellow beanbags. The city skyline is visible in the distance through the trees. Dobby, wearing a black t-shirt with red, yellow, and black pants, performs on the purple stage. It had Burramatta NAIDOC above in gold writing. Dobby dancing on stage. He is lit with bright purple lighting. Akala Newman, wearing an olive green outfit, sings for the crowd.

Alongside the ongoing Parramatta Midwinter Festival, on Saturday there was the Burramatta NAIDOC (National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) Day Festival in Parra Park.

(Burramatta is the name of Parra in the language of the traditional custodians, the Burramattagal-Dharug clan.)

Sights of Parramatta….new powerhouse museum on Parramatta flood plain, old convict built (slave) church on Church Street and new ABC studios in Parramatta Square. #Dharug #Parramatta #church #powerhouse #abcradio #Burramatta
New Powerhouse Museum (The Milk Crate) on the river in an area that regularly floods! St Johns Church, oldest or maybe the second oldest Christian Church in Parramatta. The spires were added a few years later. Some Australian Broadcasting Corporation studios have been relocated from Sydney City to Parramatta City.

absolutely gorgeous day to meet up with Darug Uncle Chris Tobin on country. Burramatta clan lands (Parramatta Park).
a bearded blackfulla stands in front of a tree, paintbrush and ochre bowl in hand. Parklands behind him. He is gesturing with the other hand as he describes the meaning of the tree art. close up of yellow ochre design on the tree trunk it is a multiculturalism design showing a fire place surrounded by fire sticks from many places. a pinic blanket scattered with mortar and pestles holding yellow and white ochre, some powdered.

In Sydney, Parramatta (suburb) derives its name from the word for “place where the eels lie down to breed”: burramatta.
