In the Woi Wurrung language Yalinguth means 'yesterday'. The Yalinguth app is an audio experience reflecting the oral tradition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

An Immersive Audio Experience

Yalinguth uses geo-located stories and sounds to take you on a journey through time. Our Elders guide us along the journey, and tell us that "we need to go back, to go forwards".

Within the spatialised sound environment you navigate by audio cues, with a simple map showing your location and where to find stories, songs and poems.

The first Yalinguth location has been developed around Gertrude Street in Ngár-go/Fitzroy, a highly significant area for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Rights movement.

We invite you to take initiative and uncover the wisdom and stories of our Elders and ancestors as you walk your own journey.

Truth Telling, Healing & Reconciliation

Without truth, we cannot heal, without healing, we cannot reconcile.

Yalinguth aims to connect all communities to historical firsthand accounts told by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The core purpose is to increase empathy, respect, and community connection.

Yalinguth is also a celebration of the Elders who paved the way for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Rights in Victoria and Australia.

Dean Parkin: The Uluru Statement From The Heart - an idea whose time has come

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In May 2017, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, coming from all points of the southern sky, made the Uluru Statement From The Heart. Building on decades of activism in pursuit of constitutional reform and self-determination, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples reached out to the nation in a heartful effort to create a movement for a better future.

The Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag were designed to represent these groups of Indigenous Australians.

The Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag were designed in the 1970s and 1990s respectively and are proudly displayed around Australia today.

The Aboriginal Flag

Description and Meaning

The Aboriginal Flag is divided horizontally into equal halves of black (top) and red (bottom), with a yellow circle in the centre.

The black symbolises Aboriginal people.

The yellow represents the sun, the constant re-newer of life.

Red depicts the earth and peoples' relationship to the land. It also represents ochre, which is used by Aboriginal people in ceremonies.

History

The flag was designed by Harold Joseph Thomas, a Luritja man from Central Australia. It was first flown at Victoria Square, Adelaide on National Aborigines' Day on 12 July 1971. It was used later at the Tent Embassy in Canberra in 1972.

Today the flag has been adopted by all Aboriginal groups and is flown or displayed permanently at Aboriginal centres throughout Australia.

The Torres Strait Islander Flag

Description and meaning

A white dharri or deri (a type of headdress) sits in the centre, with a five-pointed white star underneath it. It features three horizontal coloured stripes, with green at the top and bottom and blue in between, divided by thin black lines.

The colour green is for the land.

The dharri or deri is a symbol for all Torres Strait Islanders.

The black represents the people.

The blue is for the sea.

The five-pointed star represents the island groups. Used in navigation, the star is also an important symbol for the sea-faring Torres Strait Islander people.

The colour white of the star represents peace.

History

The flag was designed by the late Bernard Namok from Thursday Island in 1992. In June 1992 it was recognised by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission.
