Sweet Home: Stories of Country and family
Students from Ḏawurr Boarding
In Sweet Home 28 students from Ḏawurr Boarding House in Nhulunbuy have written heart-felt stories about what home means to them.
These stories travel from the turquoise waters of Blue Mud Bay, to the quiet of Bulman, to the crocodile filled creeks of Batchelor, into the bush to hunt bullocky and kangaroos, and to the sea to fish for barramundi and turtles. The students celebrate their successes in footy and athletics. They wonder what it means to be an artist.
Each story shows the places and people and things that are important to the Ḏawurr students. Although they come from 13 unique Communities across the Northern Territory, they share a love for spending time with their families and out on Country—home sweet home.
