On our debut episode of Goolay'yari Cooks River Radio we have an interview with Darug/Gadigal/Bidjigal/Yuin elder Aunty Rhonda Dixon-Grovenor, on the Aboriginal history of the river, her personal connection to it, and the names we call it today.

We also have a special report on the mysterious man seen swimming in the river last November. Who is he and is he alive?

And a report on the recent meeting of the Cooks River Valley Association, featuring research presentations and association developments.

And we have all your monthly River News for February 2026.
