Rescue Aunty Chris' boat, the 'Koorabung'




DSMG is keen to see Koorabung restored and used by Dharug community to

* support Dharug women sustaining families and continuing storying by operating ‘Koorabung’ as a modern 'nawi' (canoe) to maintain and strengthen women’s water knowledges

* support training and employment of Dharug and other Indigenous people to run, maintain and operate the boat and programs sustainably

* develop river-centred caring for Country programs targeting schools, colleges, universities, tourists, government agencies and corporations


We encourage friends and allies to support the Go Fund Me currently seeking to raise funds to bring the vessel to a dry dock for urgently needed repairs and restoration. Find the campaign site at:
