With naïve illustrations and various media used to tell the story visually, the text in this story is a simple story of living off the land. It tells us how one aboriginal family and the tribes it meets with, fish and hunt their food, trusting that the land will continue to provide.

The play is totally narrated by Indigenous teenagers (and Michelle Torres) as 'a read-along sing-along' Narkaling production. This WA play has been internationally acclaimed for its verve and joy. Bran Nue Dae is a great big happy musical filled with laughter and some tears. The original cast recording of the songs from the 1993 performance are edited amongst the reading.
This project was made possible by the support of: Gordon Reid Foundation for Youth, LotteryWest Commission, ArtsWA, DEETYA, ATSIC Office of Youth Affairs.
Please note that Bran Nue Dae is a special funded Narkaling project and is therefore recorded at a standard speaking level around 200 wpm.
