If you think you have seen everything there is to see in Wollongong, think again.There is now a way to see the magnificent coastline and escarpment the way Dharwal people saw it more than 200 years ago.It is also an experience to go back in time to hear how Dharwal people lit fires along the Illawarra coastline to tell each other about a strange object moving up the coast, which later turned out to be Captain Cook's ship the Endeavour.It has been made possible using the latest technology in three interactive shows in a theatre at the new Jumbulla Aboriginal Discovery Centre, at the new Southern Gateway Centre.Jumbulla will start trading as soon as the metal fencing comes down on Monday.Tourism NSW chairman Les Cassar described it as an attraction that would help Wollongong lead Australia.When you arrive at Jumbulla you are greeted with a welcome that touches on the culture and history of Aboriginal people as you take in the spectacular views and check out Aboriginal art and craft.Every 10 minutes there is an opportunity to see a state-of-the-art production using projection technology.Visitors walk into a room with a large glass window facing east over-looking the coastline.But then the window is transformed to show the coastline as it would have looked before white settlement.The digital glass window becomes the big screen for a story of the land we now call the Illawarra.At the end of the first presentation the lights come back on and a waterfall starts.After a few minutes the lights dim and a second show begins. This time the story and images are projected onto the waterfall feature in the middle of the room.The second feature is the story of families and what happened after Captain Cook's arrival.After another interval a third presentation is projected onto what is known as the Together Wall.It is about the interaction between and the strength of two cultures in the area, the work Fred Moore and the union movement did to bring about change for Aboriginal people and events that culminated in the sorry speech and why it was considered so important to Aboriginal people living on the South Coast.The whole sequence lasts about 45 minutes.Project manager Chris Noel said the attraction was the result of considerable input from Illawarra's indigenous community and people, such as former NSW MP Colin Markham.Eventually there will be bush tucker, Aboriginal games and art and craft demonstrations on the northern deck, as well as an interpretive walk.Illawarra ITeC Aboriginal enterprise development officer Richard Davis said as a member of the region's indigenous community, he was proud of what had been achieved."It meant so much to my mother (Aunty Mary Davis) who wanted to tell the stories of the Aboriginal people of the Illawarra and South Coast to non-indigenous people in an exciting manner," he said.Mr Davis said his mother was an advocate of an Aboriginal interpretive centre providing opportunities for Aboriginal people, particularly youth.
