“If you’ve ever enjoyed a ramble with Richard Collopy, you will know that there is an eagerness and passion for you to not only understand his point of view, but also the Gadubanud landscape for which he is Traditional custodian….Respect for Culture and for the environment underlined Richard’s message and was interwoven with his dialogue as he gave us snippets of the significance and uses of plants that we encountered.”
-Stacie Bobele, Regional Arts Victoria
“It was a wonderful experience to wander the streets, beaches and historical buildings of Apollo Bay to hear the story of Apollo Bay told through such a personal perspective. The combination of performance, traditional museum display and oral histories delivered a history lesson in the best way possible – through the personal experiences and knowledge of the people who have lived and loved there. I especially loved the integration of ancient and recent histories – Gadubanud storytelling showed both the depth of traditional knowledge that exists with our indigenous heritage, how that story has evolved since colonisation and the possibilities to be found in building stories together.”
