Jewish Students Society ANUJSS and the Nulla Nullas The Nulla Nullas was a children's Club run at Wallaga Lake Aboriginal Reserve, south coast of NSW, during 1964-1966 |
There is a "sense of shared experiences between the Jewish community and Aborigines,
epitomised by the pioneering legal work of the late Ron Castan QC and Jewish
involvement in the key High Court land-rights cases of Mabo and Wik."

 During their Canberra trip, Nulla Nulla members were treated to a joyride by the Canberra Aero Club. |  Lorraine Kelly with the snowman she made outside the house where she was billetted. Her first snow -- and the first time she had used an electric toaster. |  Distant View across Wallaga Lake of Wallaga Lake Aboriginal Reserve Village. Mt Dromedary (nowadays called Guluga Mountain) looms above. In 1965 the village comprised twenty houses without elecricity, the managers house with elecricity, Meeting hall, and ration shed. Prior to 1964 the meeting hall had been an aboriginal-only school, but by 1965 all children living on the reserve attended the local school at Bermagui. Few residents in the village were Juin as the Board relocated here families - largely single parent - from anywhere in NSW. |

Hence the support that Jews and Jewish groups have offered to the Aboriginal community. An overall discussion may be found by clicking here. |  |
