BGM_Mothers of Naarm: A Mother’s Day Special

This Down the Yarra Mother’s Day Special is a heartfelt tribute to all the Mothers of Naarm - past, present, and continuing. From the First Mothers of the Kulin Nation to the matriarchs of early Naarm - Melbourne, from the mothers of resilience to those navigating motherhood today, this episode honours their strength, grief, and of course their enduring love. But it’s definitely not all flowers and photos frames. This episode also reflects on the harder truths: child loss, the stolen generation, colonial violence, poverty, and the silence surrounding motherhood’s messier realities. Trigger Warning: This episode includes references to child removal, family violence, and systemic decriminalisation. Listen as we walk down the riverbanks of memory, resilience, and fierce motherly love.
