Looking Back – University of Sydney Anthology 2016 – Barangaroo by Robyn Edwards
Barangaroo by Robyn Edwards
1.
The first woman Barangaroo
Proud Eora warrior
Fishing Gadigal coves and inlets
In a bark nowie1
With paddle and line
Small firelight crackles inside the canoe
Kindles an orange spark,
Barangaroo’s song flames the water,
Stirs the land.
1 nowie – a small canoe
