Wurangkili Liwari Nipaluna
Advertisement
Gather with us on Kunanyi where, warmed by a roaring fire inside a mountain hut, Pakana woman and UTAS Senior Indigenous Scholar Theresa Sainty will share stories of Wurangkili Liwari (night sky) and her people’s uninterrupted connection to the stars. Hear Theresa re-tell the story of the creation of Palawa, the first ancestor to walk the earth, and of the connection between Kunanyi and lightning.
Join photographers Luke Tscharke and Dr Andrew Phipps as we explore the southern night sky, learning palawa kani words for stars while gazing into the depths of the Milky Way and beyond. We'll discuss the importance of maintaining Milaythina Wurangkali (Sky Country) and Wurangkili Liwari (night sky) of Nipaluna/Hobart and throughout Lutruwita/Tasmania.
Come experience the wonder of our dark skies through both cultural stories and astronomical observation at this unique mountaintop gathering.
Please bring a torch, warm clothing, and a pair of binoculars if you have them. Downloading an app like Stellarium on your phone can also enhance the experience.
Meet at the Lost Freight Cafe.
