walawaani njindiwan - The Triangle Community Newspaper

Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba are the last of the villages in the Eurobodalla to get the new town signs. Acknowledging the Yuin Aboriginal Nation, these signs artfully display a welcome to everyone in the Dhurga language common to the Eurobodalla. walawaani njindiwan translates to welcome everyone, hope you had a good journey or safe journeys everyone, and is particularly appropriate for the entrance to a town and village. There has been a lot of work reviving the Dhurga language locally and it is a gift for us all to share in this revival.

These signs have gradually been installed by Eurobodalla Council over a long lead time and will include the bigger towns throughout the Eurobodalla now that the smaller towns and villages have been completed. They are eye catching and even have a solar light for night-time illumination.
