Ringbalin - River Stories (Lite) Ceremony and Indigenous Stories about the Murray Darling Basin
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
Come follow us: real world journeys with the oldest living cultures on earth to discover 40,000 years of history, knowledge and myth along Australia’s greatest rivers.
In 2010 the Ringbalin, a group of Indigenous tribes reignited an ancient ceremony, a Ringbalin, travelling 2300km, dancing to save Australia’s Murray Darling Rivers from a crippling drought. By the time they had finished rain had started falling. What followed were the biggest floods in Australian records.
The Ringbalin happens every year now. But you can join the Ringbalin right here.
Ringbalin River Stories invites you on a journey along the Murray Darling Rivers guided by Elders of the oldest cultures on earth. You will follow the Ringbalin as it dances down the river, and witness the breaking drought. And you can meet Traditional Elders along the way. They have created individual journeys of story and place to share their Countries with you.
Whether you are on the other side of the world, or just down the road, you can take this journey right now. But you can also come here, visit, see, touch and breathe it in. The stories are set in the world around you.
The Elders will find you as you enter their Countries. The sound of clap-sticks will alert you as you near the places where they are waiting to tell their stories. They have made journeys for you to follow, with stories of the streams, mountains and plains, and songs of the waters and their People. Incredible and profound films, photo stories, and audio stories have each been geo-located on a series of beautiful interactive hand painted maps, which you can navigate to find the exact place where the Elders created each stories.
Ringbalin Lite is a delightful weekend trip, or powerful glimpse of the landscapes of story that exist waiting to be discovered. In the Lite version some of the stories of two Elders from the Coorong can be experienced. The entire Ringbalin, all of the Coorong stories and another 6 Elders are nearly ready to be added to the Ringbalin River Stories. This complete Ringbalin River Stories app will be part of a Indiegogo campaign - http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ringbalin - and we hope to complete this for release in late November.
