Barry James Gilson

A Wadawurrung man, singer / songwriter, award-winning poet and storyteller - he has lived in the countryside of Gordon all his life, with a view of Kirritt Barreet, the mountain where Bunjil the Eagle created the first two men. He tells stories of Dreamtime ancestral heroes and the nature around us all. Collecting stories never heard before and interpreting them for the audience - an important understanding and coming together for everyone listening. He had written the second part for the show 'AURA' at sovereign hill. Every year he opens up Meredith Music Festival and Golden Plains, and does storytelling events at both of these.
