Tyronne Bell is a Ngunawal descendant and youngest of seven who grew up in Yass, learning traditional culture from his father Don Bell (senior). Challenging early experiences helped shape his lifelong passion for the advancement of Aboriginal issues. Tyronne has become a strong advocate for the recognition of Aboriginal culture and language, in particular the culture and language of the Ngunawal people.
Tyronne’s passion for his Aboriginal culture and heritage and his desire to share this knowledge with others led to the establishment of Thunderstone Aboriginal Cultural Services in July 2013. Thunderstone has helped promote awareness and appreciation of the rich Aboriginal culture and history of the local region through delivery of cultural programs, language workshops and Dhawura On Country tours.
