The Wire

In the small town of Narooma on the NSW South Coast Aboriginal families are struggling to meet the costs associated with funeral rites.

The role of the NSW Land Council in providing funeral grants has been called into question on the matter.

Dream Time Funerals is an organization which began in response to shortfalls of funding in the area.
