Where you from?
Discover all about the Traditional Country beneath your feet.
Get around the local Traditional Owners, the same way you get around your local team.
We all have an opportunity to feel greater connections to the places we know and love. And it comes from listening to the local Traditional Owners and supporting them in whatever ways we can.
Our goal is for all people to, not just recognise the Traditional Country that they’re on, but to understand what that really means.
You really learn a lot about a place in 60,000 years.
Because wherever you live in Australia, you live on traditional land. And even if we think we know our backyards, listening and engaging with the local First Nations peoples can help to experience them in a whole new way.
Connect to Country is an initiative to help people across this big country, to connect with the hundreds of different countries within.

You’re on Traditional Country.
It’s First Nations, plural. Wherever you live right now, you’re on traditional country.
We want everyone to know that we’re more than one big country. We’re hundreds of them.
This land gives us so much, the least we can all do is try to learn its traditional names.
“Canberra”, “Parramatta”, “Bondi”, "Wollongong" - traditional names are not as complicated as you might think.
