In May 2017 I was a sound artist at the Noted Festival and was privileged to hear Ngunnawal Elder Nin Jannette Phillips deliver the Welcome to Country in the foyer of the National Library.

A warning, though; the song ‘Diary’ which features in this piece, while factual, contains disturbing content.
