A piece titled 200? by Allan McKenzie represents the over 200 Warangesda peoples who died.

“The people who have died on Warangesda and have been buried out there with unmarked graves – we don’t even know where the cemetery is now,” Ms Patten said.

Ms Patten also showed us a collaborative piece she worked on which represents the Wiradjuri community.

Tour guide Anthony ‘Tony’ Edwards invites the community to learn more about the Warangesda Mission.

The tour explores the history behind the Warangesda Aboriginal Mission, including the founder minister John Gribble, who became involved in the Aboriginal community after he was lost as a young child and an Aboriginal lady took him in.

Ms McCann encourages the community to support the exhibition and tour

The exhibition will be running for two weeks at the Waddi House, and can be viewed Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

The Waddi House is also looking to renovate their building into a tourist centre for the community.
