Lionel is a Gunditjmara Kirrae Wurrung-Bundjalung man, residing in his home country on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. The Peninsula has been home to Lionel since he was 6 years old, where, as a child, he was drawn to exploring the land and natural environment and developing a deep connection and understanding to his country and cultural heritage.
Lionel has a passion for expanding and sharing his vast knowledge of cultural practices, stories, production of artifacts and traditional tools, bush foods and medicines, healing, building practices, artworks, music, dance, traditional ceremonies and contemporary engagement programs. He embraces the opportunity to share his extensive knowledge of the land and Indigenous cultures and traditions with the wider public through guided walks ‘on country’, yidaki healing, meditations, smoking ceremonies, talks and educational programs in agreement with both the Bunurong Land Council and the Boonwurrung Foundation to work on Country which we are based on.
Lionel is also a well-known artist, visually depicting his culture and lore through paintings, murals, carvings and sculpture. His works are made with passion which is evident in the final result of all his work.
“I teach people about the importance of the land. The land can live without us, but we can’t live without mother earth”
“I teach respect and healing and i help other people, black or white, to get through their problems, as I have experienced a great deal of what life can throw at you”
Lionel has the blessings of the local Boon Wurrung and Bunurong community to share traditional knowledge and stories specific to the area.

As a younger man, Si quit studying medicine at the University of Western Australia to hitch-hike around Australia and be a didgeridoo player before he even knew how to play the instrument. Years later, Si was the only non-indigenous didgeridoo player to be featured in the Sydney Olympics Discovery Channel documentary, Yidaki. After this, he was invited to Arnhem Land by a Yolngu Elder for personal teaching. Since then he has sold out recitals at the Sydney Opera House, was employed as the didgeridoo player for Cirque du Soleil, and was at one stage signed to the leading UK record label. Si now resides in Fremantle where he combines drums, percussive flamenco guitar and naked voice alongside his signature uplifting style of didgeridoo playing. "An astonishing solo player!" - Cirque Du Soleil
