Jandamarra Cadd – a Yorta Yorta and Dja Dja Warung descendent, an aboriginal spokesperson, and an artist. An inspirational man with many stories to tell. Jandamarra speaks in beautiful metaphor, and poetry with wisdom shining so brightly, not just through his spoken word, but also through the spaces and pauses between them.
