Where Myth Meets History and Love Knows No Boundaries.

'The Coming of the Yirraalii' blurs Myth and history together to create this gripping tale about two lovers, Balagaan and Gawngan, who are caught between the timeless world of the Dreamtime and the disruption to it caused by the coming of the Yirraalii.

The tale is told in two parts: the first part celebrates the rich culture and life of the Aboriginal people of Australia prior to colonisation; the second part graphically depicts the impact of colonisation on the people and their culture.

'The Coming of the Yirraalii' is a moral tale and a truth telling of Australia's untold past that offers hope for reconciliation and a brighter future for all of us.
