From 4ZZZ in Brisbane, Nic Huntington takes us on a journey filled with mystery and conspiracy, as we head to Dijaki Kundu.

Supervising production from Anthony Frangi. Training from the Community Media Training Organisation. Distributed by the Community Radio Network.

Produced for the 2021 CBAA National Features and Documentary Series.

It's always daunting walking into any space where you don't know anybody.

Despite being a journalist for a quarter of my life, I still struggle with this, no matter how many emails I've sent.

For hours I awkwardly felt out the energy at Djaki Kundu with a roaring fire, camp chairs, and a bowl of delicious soup in front of me as the stars set.

On hour 6 of an overnight trip, I started to think this whole story might have been a mistake, stumbling through awkward introductions to the constantly expanding roster of characters. 

But when I awoke in the morning to a welcoming "I like this fella, he has a trustworthy energy about him" I knew the story was going to turn out. 

This story was a story of many visits similar to this, feeling my way through awkward reintroductions before finally understanding when the time was right to record.

I never could get Wit-Boooka to feel comfortable around a Shure SM58, but I can live with that.

Special Thanks
