Traditional Custodian film to premiere at Green Point

Read Time:1 Minute, 39 Second

A Traditional Custodian of the Central Coast and Broken Bay area, Auntie Tracey Howie, will feature in a new film to premiere at the Green Point Community Centre on Sunday, October 8.

The film will be followed by a one-hour discussion with Auntie Tracey Howie, a direct descendent of Bungaree, who circumnavigated Australia with Matthew Flinders.

In the film and the following discussion, Tracey Howie will speak frankly about the history of the Central Coast and the journeys of Bungaree.

Auntie Tracey was presented with one of the only maps of the Flinders circumnavigation by the descendants of Matthew Flinders when they visited Australia to commemorate the bicentenary of his journey.

“Enjoy the first-ever screening of this intimate film with Tracey in the audience amongst us,” said a media release from the Friends of Local Traditional Custodians of the NSW Central Coast, who are presenting the premiere.

Auntie Tracey will speak of blood lines, her lineage, and Care for Country.

She will join the stage after the film in discussion about Custodianship and Aboriginal lore.

All questions are welcomed.

“Building local people’s knowledge of the area, history and stories is part of keeping our community healthy. This is particularly pertinent during this month when people will go to the polls and need questions answered.”

The film will commence at 2pm in the auditorium at Green Point Community Centre on Sunday, October 8.

Entry is $5 per person at the door to cover costs.
