Bila Yarrudhanggalangdhuray - River of Dreams is set in the mid-19th century and tells the story of Wagadhaany, a young Wiradjuri woman, and the colonisation of her people's lands. It also tells a story of the mighty Murrumbidgee River - Marrambidya Bila - as it flows from Gundagai to Wagga Wagga in southern New South Wales.
