Aunty Kim Wandin (Wandoon)
Aunty Kim is a Wurundjeri/Woiwurrung Woman. Her traditional family name ‘Wandoon’ means ‘spirits of the water.’ Aunty Kim and her family still live on Country in Healesville.
Aunty Kim uses reeds collected on Wurundjeri Country to make eel traps and baskets in a traditional way handed down to her by her Nanna Ollie, who was taught by Granny Jemima (at Coranderrk). Aunty Kim intends to pass this on to her own granddaughter when the time is right.
Aunty Kim collects reeds on Country and hangs them to dry in the sun. When they are dried she soaks them in water to make them flexible and ready to use.
