Wangganga in in the local Dhurga language means Women.

The Aboriginal Wangganga group meets weekly at the Boomerang Meeting Place located in Mogo. The women gather to practice all art forms to support the healing of spirit, the connection to culture and to build a community of resilience. The town of Mogo and the surrounding area was devastated by 2019/2020 bushfires and to this day are still rebuilding homes and lives. The women have put together a collection of healing stories, journeys, and childhood memories.

We would like to acknowledge the support of Fire to Flourish Eurobodalla* and Boomerang Meeting Place that have supported the project and group.
