We're revisiting Newcastle's First Storytellers for NAIDOC week.

This podcast series explores how Newcastle’s Aboriginal communities share and tell stories. Australia has the world’s oldest oral story telling culture and Newcastle has a rich collection of storytellers. 

William Smith, Wirrigan Aboriginal Elder joins the series to tell us about his move to Newcastle and his  extraordinary early spent working alongside BHP building bridges between people and creating opportunities for many more. He talks beautifully about the way forward and shares stories of hope and inspiration from his and his ancestors journeys. He also explores the special place that Newcastle holds in his heart. 

This is a Newcastle Libraries REAL Production.
