The Net Fishing Dance features a performance by the Jannawi Dance Clan for STORYBOX Parramatta. This film was Directed by Tobias Rowles (Sam I Am Management) with Brett Brown as Director of Photography. Produced by ESEM Projects with support from City of Parramatta Council and Parramatta Park Trust. "This is our Net Fishing Dance Created in honour of our ancestor fisher women Who fished off canoes, with babies on their backs We dance where salt water meets fresh water A significant place for Darug people We need to be respectful of this place, to ask for protection and permission to be there It's hard for us to be here, knowing the history of this place, but we know we also need to bring healing." Peta Strachan, Jannawi Dance Clan

Sarah and Michael met with Chris and Leanne Tobin at Parramatta Park in July 2020. We talked about European visions of indigenous landscapes in early colonial times, and the significance of Parramatta Park to the wider story of Australian settlement.

Uncle Greg is a Gadigal man and Aboriginal elder living in Western Sydney. His ties to the Aboriginal community of Greater Western Sydney are through ancestral links to the Gundungurra (Water dragon Lizard people) of the Blue Mountains and the Gadigal (whale people) of the Darug nation. Uncle Greg is also mentor to Jayne Christian, who we interviewed together for STORYBOX Parramatta. I grew up in La Perouse and now live in Greater Western Sydney, and I am a a Community Liaison Officer with Ability Options providing employment services specifically to Aboriginal people with a disability or health condition.
