A Keeping Place, sculpture parks, art gallery and radio station

Muda Aboriginal Corporation of Bourke owns and manages the community radio station 2CUZ FM which has a footprint covering the neighbouring towns of Brewarrina, Walgett and Lightning Ridge.

The station also houses a Keeping Place with a collection of local artefacts and cultural material on display and there are two sculpture parks in the surrounding grounds. Muda has also established the Bourke Aboriginal Art Gallery in the town centre, featuring works by local artists. The idea for the development of 2CUZ came from Greg McKellar and other powerful Aboriginal leaders who could see that their community needed more positive portrayals of Aboriginal people.

Muda Aboriginal Corporation started broadcasting in 1999 and received its full radio licence in 2004. The station now has a full licence and broadcasts 24 hours a day.

2CUZ prides itself on maintaining a community feel, as well as keeping the Aboriginal and wider community up to date with current issues and local information.

The Muda Board and staff strongly believes in training and educating local youth about Indigenous media as this is not only a confidence boost, but also builds skills and offers our youth exposure to radio.
