“Would you cuddle up with a jurru? Do you have a tjikiwan dog at home? And what would you do if you saw a sneaky Kyembal?" asks ILF ambassador Jessica Mauboy.
Jump on a virtual plane to Barunga in the Northern Territory, Rubibi (Broome) in north Western Australia and Weipa on the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, to find out!

You'll join a group of young, talented songwriters with their ILF mentor Justine Clarke, for a special performance of their song, Shordi Krik, at the Barunga Festival in the Northern Territory. Find out why life is sweet at Shordi Krik.

In Rubibi, your senses will tingle as you discover there are more than four seasons a year, and on the Cape York Peninsula, when you look, you will find…..what? You will have to wait and see!
THE LIVESTREAM
After the film, enter the Sydney Opera House for a 45‑minute livestream celebration that took place on Wednesday, 6 September. The stream features ILF super star Ambassadors Justine Clarke, Josh Pyke and Gregg Dreise!
This is an action packed, joyful performance, sharing books, stories, music, song, movement, illustrations and language. It's an engaging learning adventure for early learners, primary students and adults alike.
