The second annual event as part of the Tamworth Regional Heritage Festival was held at the botanic gardens.
Host Len Waters, along with performances on the didgeridoo and from singers and the mirrii yulugi-li (star dancers), told of some of the significant constellations, their meaning for the Kamilaroi people, and the lessons they held for all.
