Or how many of us know who Bennelong was?
Or why was his wife significant to our story?

We have 65,000 years of history
We have 65,000 years of heroes

It's time we remember them

Here's a couple of Yugambeh heroes from my local area:
Bullumm, a Wangerriburra Ancestor, was a "Keeper of Language"
Bilin Bilin, Yugambeh Warrior, "A different kind of warrior"
It's time we learn about our heroes
