We learned that Indigenous people stayed at Evans Head because there was plenty of food, stones to make tools and fresh water

[Ballina Public School @PublicBallina]

Today we are learning On Country at Evans Head. We are so lucky to have Mr Eli Cook who can tell us the stories of this place. We are learning about our ancestors as we prepare to create yarning circles as we connect to our own school as a place to gather and share stories.
