Leanne King | Boorooberongal Dharug Woman Teacher, Mentor, Dharug Language Speaker and Wollombi Aboriginal Cultural Experiences
Wingaru Education

Aunty Leanne King is Dharug woman from the Boorooberongal clan with qualification in education and Indigenous social policy. A passionate educator, Leanne has spent over 30 years teaching in the Aboriginal education space, including as a senior lecturer at a number of Australian universities and more recently focusing her time sharing story on Country. 
"What I do is share the stories that have been shared with me. Doing that respectfully and paying respects to those that have given me those stories.” Leanne says.
Leanne sees the move from the classroom to taking people out on Country as a natural and essential progression. “In a classroom you can only feel so much. I think what we need to do is change attitudes. And not until you can get out on Country and feel Country and let Country talk to you, can you actually, really learn.” explains Leanne.
