Cover image: ‘Wiradjuri Water Symbols 1’, drawing by Lynette Riley. Water symbols represent a foundation requirement for all to be sustainable in their environment. For Indigenous people traditional languages are a foundation for cultural survival, hence the importance of traditional language revival, resource development and teaching programs for all Indigenous Australians.
