My name’s Nicole Brown. I’m a proud Larrakia woman and my people are the Traditional Owners of Darwin or Garamilla as we call it. This podcast is coming to you from the grounds that my ancestors walked on for thousands of years. And as a proud descendant of theirs, I pay my respects to those that have come before me and our current and emerging leaders. Every single day when I wake up, I celebrate that this always was and always will be Larrakia Land.  

We are a welcoming people and I've been privileged to witness my beautiful home grow and become the melting pot of cultures it is today. Rich, diverse and modern, mixed with the traditions and history of this Country.

Join me to learn more about my home and my culture as I welcome you to my Country.

Salty Plums: they’re a little bit sweet, a little bit sour and a little bit salty.  Some say if you’ve never tasted one, you’ve never been to the real Darwin. 



Introduced by Chinese migrants in the 17th Century, they’ve become a symbol of this city’s unique multicultural community. 



Darwin or Garramilla, as the Larrakia Traditional Owners call it, is a city plonked right in the middle of the tropical Top End, closer to Asia than any Australian capital city. Famous for crocodiles, sunset markets and a big cyclone called Tracy, yet, there’s so much more to this place.



The city has a tumultuous past from a bombing attack in World War 2 to three big cyclones  - all of which left it in pieces. Over the decades, people from 100 different nationalities have migrated to this city, to re-build it, as they fell in love, grew families and created a place to call home. 



Hosted by Larrakia woman Nicole Brown, Salty Plum Stories shares the experiences of six people from six different cultures, bringing you into the heart of the real Darwin, Salty Plums and all.   



Salty Plum Stories is a Discover Darwin podcast for the City of Darwin. 



It was produced by Lori Uden and Cinnamon Nippard, with editorial support from Johanna Bell and mixing by Hamish Robertson. 



The incredible soundtrack was composed and mixed by Kuya James and Tutup Mulut.
