ABSTRACT
Yarning in this context is deliberate conversation using an informal style, similar to, but different from, what is called semi-structured interviews. Here the participants who shared their knowledge about non-Indigenous mainstream Australian culture are introduced and while diverse in gender, age, occupation and class, all identify as belonging to non-Indigenous mainstream Australian culture. Greater detail is added to what is mainstream culture, its foundational values and principles, and how this differs from Indigenous Australian culture. What participants were raised to believe and the ways this is changing starts to become evident.
