24.01.2022 Good morning. The season is changing. Time to close the doors up early on in the day & put the air conditioner on. Getting very warm and humidity in the air is rising. So thankful for our solar power.

18.01.2022 Show us your bush ingenuity! If you’ve ever had to fix or make something using your own skills and cobbling random parts together, you’ll know how satisfyin...g it is - especially when it works! Frank Martin from Mowanjum is pictured here demonstrating a hand washing station outside the corporation office. It was designed by one of the community’s builders. It’s simply two large buckets of water, a hose from an outboard motor off a tinny, and a foot pump. You just grab the soap and push the pump with your foot, Frank said.

16.01.2022 Greg *the tech guy* in his office surrounded by computers and other gadget type stuff. He helps keep the Community Resource Centre at Mowanjum running plus work...s on prepping 2nd hand laptops to sell cheaply to local people, keeps the bills paid, the car running, helps supervise the boys schooling, amongst other things. We couldn't do what we do without him working away in the background. #growingfamiliesaustralia #Growingfamiliesaustraliamissions

16.01.2022 COOLING OFF IN BALGO There were some understandably happy faces in Balgo this week, as the town pool opened for the first time this year. Since it opened last ...year, the pool has helped boost school attendance and proven an important hub for kids in the community. : Royal Life Saving Society WA

15.01.2022 Ngardarri warndij arrun wulun-nangga We make ngardarri from paperbark. As part of her National Museum of Australia Encounters Fellowship, Sherika Nulgit with ...the help of her family, collected paperbark from the Melaleuca tree to make Ngardarri. This is a headcap used in the performance of Junba, a form of storytelling through traditional song and dance. The bark is stripped from the tree, rolled into a cone and tied with bush string made from core of a young boab tree. The Ngardarri is then painted using the sap from a bloodwood tree. These Ngardarri will feature in the new Mowanjum Museum, currently under construction and due to be completed by the end of the year. Performance of Junba is the highlight of the Mowanjum Festival held in the first week of July next year. #mowanjumartandculturecentre #mowanjum #mowanjumfestival #junba #nationalmuseumaustralia #ngarinyincountry #sherikanulgit See more

08.01.2022 Dear Hedland Community, This afternoon I’d like to talk about Part 5B of the Liquor Control Act 1988, which enables an owner or occupier of a private premises ...or privately owned land to apply to the Director of Liquor Licensing to have their premises declared a liquor restricted residence, for a specified period. If friends and relatives regularly cause trouble when drinking liquor in your home, or you’re concerned about other antisocial alcohol related behaviour occurring, you can apply to have your home declared a liquor restricted premises. Once a Liquor Restricted Premises Declaration has been issued, a notice must be displayed onsite, and one of our officers at the police station will be happy to assist. If someone is then drinking liquor or taking liquor into your restricted premises, you will be able to call the police, who will have the power to seize the liquor and may take action against the person who committed the offence. This year in Hedland we’re seeing a marked increase in strong community members, our elderly, and those with families and children, seeking to have their homes liquor restricted, and strengthen their way of life. If you would like any further information, please come down and speak to one of us, or visit some of our awesome local support services, because we’re keen to help and support you. Regards Senior Constable Dan Hunuki South Hedland Police Station
