Description
This website celebrates the life of Diana Mudgee, an Aboriginal woman from the Piambong/Mudgee area of New South Wales.

Diana's story is about a girl who lost her parents at a young age and entered a childhood marriage. As the mother of ten children, she held title to a considerable amount of land in a time when it was unusual for a woman to do so.
