Kyarna Cruse

Kyarna Cruse is a Yuin woman from the far south coast of NSW with family ties to Gunaikurnai Country in the south and Gubbi Gubbi and Gureng Gureng Countries in the north.

Kyarna has performed at previous Giiyong Festivals. When invited to perform at Giiyong Ganya, Kyarna said, "I used to spend most of my school holidays in Eden camping at Jigamy, visiting Nan Beryl and Pop Ossie. It’s always good to come home, and especially for Giiyong. Jigamy was a huge part of my life growing up. It’s always been a gathering place for our family, and I love that the Keeping Place is still being used to continue that tradition."
