WE of THE WADAWURRUNG - OUR STORY

We began to get together under a formal corporate status after Uncle Gareth Powell came back from Canberra in 1991, to be on country and help his Mother, Aunty Margaret Powell (daughter of Mabel Violet Powell, nee Robinson, born Framlingham 18?? and granddaughter of our last apical Ancestor of the great Wadawurrung Tribe of Victoria, John Robinson (born xx 18??, died Skipton 19??).

John Robinson was the son of King Billy and Queen May of Ballarat. John married Anne Mathews and together gave birth to the seven (7) children from whom all direct descendants of John Robinson are identified and are found as members of one of the seven (7) Family Groups which form the Wadawurrung Tribe today.

Each one of the Family Group's have their own unique story to tell.
