Welcome to Country

There definitely needs to have Wiradjuri mob in it should be included like the others Mandaang guwu- thank you

Fantastic Resource

Thank you to Tyson and the team from WSM Digital for a practical and easy to use App.

Needs an update BADLY

This app would be fantastic if it had all the tribes listed. I travel all over NSW and would like to know the lands I’m visiting so I can acknowledge the traditional owners. Please update. Even the Wollongong mob are missing. Shame!

Keep updating please!!

Awesome idea, needs to be completed though, only has a few countries so far. Excited to see how this app develops and how it can be used to raise awareness of country

Location, search and sound issues

I really love this idea as this is what I was looking for, but coming south from mildura the app put me in SA and then NSW. And no sound in the welcome to country. I hope this app improves cos it’s well needed.
