Cape Portland, on Tebrakunna Country in Tasmania's far North-East, was a hive of activity at the weekend as Melaythenner Teeackana Warrana Aboriginal Corporation (MTWAC) hosted its annual Mannalargenna Day Festival.

More than 800 mob, allies and dignitaries attended the 11th iteration of the event, which honours Mannalargenna — the ancestral grandfather of many Aboriginal Tasmanians — while celebrating the lives of his ancestors and contemporary Tasmanian Aboriginal culture.

This year's Festival was highlighted by a 'Bringing Him Home' ceremony for man Pairrebeenne/Trawlwoolway man Timmee, also known as Maulboyheenner, who was publicly executed at age 25-26 alongside Parperloihener clansman Tunnerminnerwait in Port Melbourne in 1842.

MTWAC acting general manager, Nick Cameron, told National Indigenous Times returning Timmee's spirit to his home Country was a highlight of the day.

"The ceremony was really well received," Mr Cameron said, who described the event as a "special" experience which was enjoyed by all involved.

In addition to the ceremony, a permanent memorial for Timmee was unveiled - a steel outdoor artwork of a traditional paperbark canoe.

The near-full length replica will provide an opportunity for visitors to Tebrakunna Country to learn about the pair's plight, Mr Cameron said, as well as the Aboriginal history of the Cape Portland area.

Mr Cameron said holding Mannalagenna Day at Cape Portland has deeply historical and cultural relevance to Tasmanian Aboriginal people.

The area marks the location where Mannalargenna and George Robinson discussed the future of the state's remaining clans during colonisation, Mr Cameron said, as well as the last of mainland Trouwerner/Tasmania the Trawlwoolway clan chief saw before being relocated to the Flinders Island settlement of Wybalenna, where he later died.

"It's really significant because we feel this is the point of where initial treaty was made, or the promise was made," Mr Cameron said.

The Cape Portland and Little Musselroe Bay area is rich in significant cultural sites, he said, with new sites continuing to be found.

"Aboriginal people having a presence on that land, as we currently do for a license agreement, but the opportunity for our rangers to work on that area land is of great importance."

Others activities on the day included art and craft displays and rangers guiding tour groups across Tebrakunna Country, showcasing their on-Country land management work.

Mr Cameron said rangers have been regenerating and restoring the area with native tree planting, the cultivation of cultural foods, strategic patch burning, and the early stage construction of a cultural walk.

"People were really interested to see how the native kangaroo grass is coming back up through the pastoral grass that's been burnt," he said.

Describing the event as "the one day where lots family get together and see each other" in the year, Mr Cameron said "people really look forward to it [Mannalargenna Day]" to share stories and enjoy the company of mob.

He said there was an overwhelming sense of positivity and inclusivity on the day, because Aboriginal people "were there and happy to share our culture" with non-Aboriginal attendees.

"The non-Aboriginal people got an opportunity to practice some cultural activities, and yarn with our people," he said.

"And everybody that have spoken to us really enjoyed the day."
