On Flinders Island in Bass Strait sits a little-known place, significant to not only Tasmanian and Australian history ... but global history. It's known as Wybalenna and it’s a place of deep sorrow for the Aboriginal community. But in more recent years an effort has been underway to make it a more comfortable place for the Aboriginal community to spend time for healing and truth-telling. With the community gathering there this week to mark NAIDOC week and continue the truth-telling that's been happening since colonisation.
