Hi - I am Paddy - welcome to Ngarinyin country. Come and stay with us with Richard, and learn about the lore and meet me and my family. We'll show you some things like you haven't seen before - like Wandjina - big spirit of this place.	They call me Pansy - cause I'm so sweet. I teach women's lore and show how we live and look after families and each other up here. We've got a place for you too.	This is Beryl and Darren - future caretakers of the Wandjina spirit and rock art of the Kimberley. They can show you how to catch and cook fish and find good bush tucker & shoot deadly video.

Bush University is operated north of Derby in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The concept was initiated more than 10 years ago by Aboriginal elder David Mowaljarlai OAM as a means of co-cultural learning & community understanding for his people, the Ngarinyin of the Kimberley and the wider world.  He energised a songline of energy from Sydney to the Kimberley. He said by increasingly energising this line it would heal the whole country. In 1997 I spent time with Mowaljarlai, and elders of the Kimberley, and understood more clearly what was meant by this. He died a few months later, leaving strong impressions with many people of the value of supporting the people, nature and spirit of the Kimberley for benefits to all Australians, and increasingly the global community.

Bush University Journeys are delivering people to share time and energy (even work if you choose) with people of the Kimberley to learn & share, to rebuild community, plus building relationships & energy of communities enroute - energising a songline Across Australia.
