25.01.2022 Respect whispers a soft and heartfelt message about the basic cultural principle that informs all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations throughout Austr...alia. Respect is about a way of life that is older than flickering stars, about stories that shimmer through tall grasses, and redgum leaves that tumble to a parched and red earth. https://www.rileycallieresources.com.au/childrensbo/respect

16.01.2022 One of the challenges that comes up during term planning is how to incorporate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, and how to do it in a meaning...ful way. Check out the new post on the blog for a free downloadable planner and ideas to help identify and organise the inclusion of First Nations content in all key learning areas for a term. https://www.wingaru.com.au/blog/planner-challenge #TeacherResources #AboriginalPerspectives #Aboriginaleducation

15.01.2022 Imagine this. Indigenous round is coming up and you're the only Indigenous player in the league. Outfits worn by the eight teams are inspired by Indigenous art...work. The match ball used during the round is designed by Wurundjeri and Yorta-Yorta woman Simone Thomson. You're used by the league to promote the round with a string of interviews leading up to the big game. Which (it seems) you're happy to do. You're proud and so you should be! You're excited, maybe even a little nervous. Your name is Jemma Mi Mi and you play for the Queensland Firebirds. This is Super Netball. Young Indigenous girls around the country are watching, looking up to you. We know there's awesome players out there in the community, but pathways to the league are lacking. What an amazing opportunity this is for the league to shine a light on your sport and show how inclusive it is for Indigenous people. "When I first ... found out I was the only Indigenous athlete in the Super Netball competition I was pretty surprised," Mi Mi said in an interview prior to Super Netball's Indigenous Round. "Because I guess I know there is so much Indigenous talent out there. I've learnt now to really own that responsibility and take on that pressure." The day arrives and you're on the bench. Time passes and you still haven't played. 1 minute left, the WA (wing attack) legs are cramping up ... you mouth to her "if you want" ... you're itching to get on that court, but the WA doesn't want and when you turn to look at your coach, she doesn't want either. You show a momentary look of disappointment then continue to cheer on your team as they win the Indigenous round. You're a team player! But guuurllll, your team wasn't supporting you this time! You've gotten good stats all season! Even if you just played in that last few minutes your team still would've won!! The most sucky thing of all, it didn't matter if your team won or lost cause it made no difference to the ladder. So why Firebirds? Why oh why exclude the only Indigenous athlete in Super Netball from the Indigenous round? You won and still don't qualify for finals. Do better. Netball Australia, this is your moment for change, not just one round out of the year, but every round. Lead. Image: Queensland Firebirds.

14.01.2022 Why our stories matter! It's not often I find spare time on my hands, so with a coffee in hand I headed to the World Theatre Gallery in Charters Towers to check... out the amazing '50 shades of my heART'exhibition by Tania Ault Dillinga's Dreaming. The theatre gallery was visually alive with Tania story. Painting by painting, amazing artwork with intricate detail, telling her story. I was glad to have a few moments to myself to read the story of the paintings, Tania's life. Having missed the opening night I was glad to be guided by these stories. It wasn't long before the gallery started to fill up with tourists, and they too were taken on the journey of Tania Ault's story. With the exhibition hanging until Sunday 4 October 2020 be sure to visit it yourself, and you never know you might have the opportunity to have Tania's story joining yours on your wall at home for years to come. #loveyourwork #visualstories #artist #dillingadreaming #charterstowers

03.01.2022 Cricketers at the Charters Towers Goldfields Ashes Cricket Carnival

02.01.2022 Eddie Gilbert - was the only bowler to knock the bat out of Sir Donald Bradman’s hands and to have bowled him for a duck in 1931. He played 23 matches for Queen...sland in the 1930s during which he took 87 wickets at an average of 29. He is a member of Queensland’s Indigenous Hall of Fame. A statue in his honour has been erected at Brisbane’s Allan Border Field and a headstone marks his grave in Cherbourg, QLD, his home town. Bradman recalled years later that the six deliveries he faced from Gilbert in that match (On 6 November 1931 in a match against NSW at the recently opened Brisbane Cricket Ground), were the fastest he had experienced in his career. Bradman said The keeper took the ball over his head, and I reckon it was halfway to the boundary and that the balls from Gilbert were unhesitatingly faster than anything seen from Larwood or anyone else.
