Episode 5- Brewarrina Part 2

In this Episode we hear more stories and interviews from people in Brewarrina NSW. Brewarrina is located in the Outback of NSW between Bourke, Walgett and Lightning Ridge. Brewarrina is where the Barwon River flows through the oldest man-made structure on earth, the “Ngunnhu” (fish traps).
