Since the beginning of 2017, Aboriginal students at Eden Public School have been learning the language of their elders, the culmination of a painstaking language revitalisation project that began more than ten years ago.
In 2006, Ossie and Beryl Cruse, Shirley Aldridge and Liddy Stewart, together with project coordinator Sue Norman, began meeting with South Coast Elders to record interviews and find out how much language was still spoken.
