Sports People

Lloyd Walker is a Dharawal and Dhurga Rugby Union player from the La Perouse Aboriginal community in Coastal Sydney. Lloyd played over 250 A-Grade games and represented the Australian Wallabies 8 times. Lloyd’s playstyle is often referred to as ‘genius’ with many often commending his timing, ball skills and quick wit. After retiring Lloyd went on to coach union teams in both Australia and Japan.

After stepping away from sports, Lloyd became a member of the NSW Parole Board and became the longest serving member. In addition to a goal of reducing Indigenous incarceration rates, Lloyd also serves as Deputy Chair of the La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council. Despite now being recognised as one of the greats of Australian Rugby Union, Lloyd Walker didn’t receive recognition for his talents until the end of his career.

Welcome to the Yuin Digital Keeping Place. This website is intended to record and share information on events and people that have impacted on Yuin history, language and lifestyle. Over the coming years, we plan to keep improving and updating this website so that it can include an even wider and richer collection of stories from Yuin Families. We, the Yuin DKP Project Working Group, understand that language is living, and acknowledge that different spellings have been used throughout history. For this project, we've agreed to use the language spellings Dhurga, Djiringandj, and Dhawa. We invite the Yuin and wider community to explore and learn from this Digital Keeping Place.
