Commissioned for the 2023 Clarence Jazz Festival, mulaka milaythina premiered at the festival in February.

‘mulaka milaythina’/the hunting ground is a tour that speaks to the rich hunting grounds that long characterised the landscape of the Eastern shore and explores the stories that connect generations of Tasmanian Aboriginal people to each other and the lands that they continue to care for.

Nunami and Sarah Hamilton (who together wrote takara nipaluna and mumara patrula) have joined forces to develop this new walking tour.

They also developed a spoken word piece of the same name to accompany a musical composition by internationally renowned composer and pianist Louise Denson that speaks to the story of mulaka milaythina through music.

The mulaka milaythina performance featured a nine-piece Jazz ensemle was commissioned by was performed twice throughout the 2023 festival, premiering at Aboriginal Land of piyura kitina/Risdon Cove.
