Hello - in the words of the Budawang people from the Yuin Nation speaking Dhurga "Wada".

Nuragunyu is from two words "Nura" meaning Country and "Gunyu" meaning Swan.

Noel Butler, Budawang Elder from the Yuin Nation is a qualified teacher, educator, mentor, horticulturist, chef and historian; and together with his wife have been teaching, delivering programs and working with Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal adults and children for over 35 years.

Our knowledge and skills are taken from our own real life experiences and we provide our own resource materials including traditional Aboriginal artefacts.

We cater to education centres and groups, Government departments and schools; and private groups.

Indigenous Australians have been understanding and living on this land we call Australia for more than 40,000 years. We are the oldest and longest continuing Culture known to human beings. Where other civilisations have been and gone we are still here and we offer the knowledge and skills from those ancient times to today's society.

To have survived from the times of our mega fauna and great land mass changes we must have learned and gained the living skills within our natural environment to still be here today.We are the Ancient people of this land - we listen to the land and the ancient spirits - and this land is etched deep within our hearts. This we wish to share with you.

The natural outcome of learning and understanding between people is friendship and reconciliation.

Noel and Trish Butler believe that there is a real need for authentic Aboriginal education to be accessible in context. Something more than a book or a website, we offer the opportunity to experience and understand, to learn in the heart and the head.

"The things we teach find their origins in history and real life, from an aboriginal perspective. We seek to offer this with sensitivity and respect to all who want to share the experience of this great land we call home. We will talk about bush skills, bush food, history, lifestyle, music, song and dance."

You are invited to come and share the experience.
