'Baluk Wurrung -  Stories from Aboriginal people in South East Melbourne' (2011)

 

Baluk Wurrung are ancient Aboriginal words from the languages of the Kulin nation of Victoria that refer to the clan or extended family group and what is spoken from the lips. These stories were mostly told by contributors in oral interviews, and painstakingly collected by Pauline Mackinnon in 2010 and 2011, and give a glimpse into the lives of Aboriginal people in south eastern Melbourne.
