Our Culture is for All
Sydney Harbour Elder was designed as a platform for all people to connect with the knowledge and expertise of the Aboriginal and indigenous people that call Sydney Harbour home. We provide services including Welcomes to Country, smokings and language as well operating as a consultancy for business, legal and culturally appropriate professional services.
We were created in 2019 by
Three Aboriginal men with their own lived connections to the harbour; Mark Merriman, the lead elder of the Pyrmont & Ultimo area; artist and well-known museum curator Matt Poll living in Glebe; and legally qualified communicator and engineer Mike Butler living in Pyrmont. Our goal is to connect all people with the extraordinary story of 60,000+ years of Aboriginal life and culture around our home Sydney Harbour.
