Madjeri

Madjeri (pronounced mud-jer-ee) is the Dharawal word for canoe or small floating vessel ...

... Dharawal Country extends from Sydney Harbour, down to the Shoalhaven, and as far west as the Campbelltown area.

Our old people camped along the shores of Sydney Harbour, where they fished, dived, danced and made objects such as madjeri.

The madjeri on display were created by Aboriginal people with an unbroken ancestral and cultural connection to coastal Sydney.

These vessels were made under the guidance of Gweagal clan leader Uncle Rod Mason and with the support of the Gamay Rangers.

They are a testament to the resilience of our old people and our connection to our Country.

They are a window into our vibrant culture, which has been continually practised on our Country since time began.
