Join author and Worimi man Joshua Gilbert at Pearces Creek Hall to hear about his book "Australia's Agricultural Identity: An Aboriginal Yarn".

Joshua explores a new approach to Indigenous culture and farming, blending ancient knowledge with modern technology and insight. Drawing on his Worimi family history recorded in the journals of the Australian Agricultural Company, and local stories of farming on that Country, he shows that Indigenous culture is dynamic. Josh calls for an agricultural system where Indigenous and Western knowledge come together to guide Australia’s future land management.
