An Exploration of the Wiradjuri Night Sky at Yarrabandai Creek Homestead

Archaeological evidence indicates that the Wiradjuri people have been occupying the area for at least 7150 years. They used the stars to understand the world they were living in, the relationship between the sky and land and as a tool to teach the utilisation of the landscape and environment.
