Weaving a strong future for her grandchildren —we yarn with Anne Burns.

Anne Burns is a proud Nira balluk woman of the Taungurung Nation. Having worked for the Taungurung Land and Waters Council in the Partnerships and Agreements team for four years, she’s now also a wawa biik guide sharing her passion for Culture and Country with the broader community. Anne believes there are wonderful things that can be achieved through having conversations together on Country. As the jovial, friendly and warm person that always greets you with a smile and a story, yarning with Anne is always a joy.

A humble, yet enormously skilled and knowledgeable cultural guide, she loves any opportunity to be out on biik (Country) leading walking tours, facilitating weaving workshops and tuning in to what biik is telling her. When you cut to the heart of what motivates her, you’ll find a proud mother and grandmother who wants to contribute her life’s work to creating a better place for her grandchildren.
