Wendy virtually introduces me to her Country through a photo. \u201cThis is the Shoalhaven River, this is Jerrinja Country.\u201d She points to different spots and I begin to see more than just green and blue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s the mountain, my mother grew up just down there. This is where the Shoalhaven River went out to the ocean at Shoalhaven Heads.\u201d With a dramatic flourish she points to a different location: \u201cThis is the course it now takes.
