Caring for Country

We care for Country and Country cares for us. We maintain a continuous connection to land, water and sky. Our inherent responsibility is to protect all sites on Yuin Country.

History, significant sites and protection of the environment.

Take only what you need, be organic, be recyclable and never leave a mess.

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.
