21.01.2022 Wah cool..! "Have you heard people talking about regenerative agriculture, and wondered exactly what it is, and whether it could work on your farm? A series of ...eight short videos on the key principles of regenerative agriculture have just been released by three local Landcare networks (Bass Coast, South Gippsland and Western Port Catchment) and the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. Hosted by certified professional soil scientist (CPSS) Declan McDonald, the videos explain what regenerative agriculture is and how the principles can be applied on all farm types and landscapes within our region including; beef, dairy, sheep, chickens, horticulture and vineyards. Topics covered include: introducing regenerative agriculture, minimising soil disturbance, maximising crop diversity, keeping soil covered, maintaining living roots systems year round, integrating livestock and trees, and how farmers can transition to regenerative agriculture. The videos can be accessed at https://tinyurl.com/regenagriculture or on the partner websites. "If youre curious but dont know where to start, the videos are a great introduction to the key principles of regenerative agriculture, and how they might apply to your farm says Declan. You will see some local examples of how farmers are regenerating their soils for improved plant and animal health and productivity"

20.01.2022 As we are all aware 2020 has been a bit of a strange year. Yesterday the governments announcement included that as of the 15th May gallery shops are allowed to open as long as social distancing is maintained. However they have still not given permission for galleries to open as yet and that is part of Step Two but this will not be considered until the 1st June 2020. With this step it will only allow for gatherings of up to 20 people. There is an expectation that as of the 1...st July this number will be increased. So hopefully our first opening will be after the July announcement and we will be rejiggling the dates for the artists who have missed out due to the virus. We will also be removing the big table from the space for a few months to allow more space for social distancing requirements. Nett is currently designing our new web site at the moment which will feature an online gallery. We are looking forward to continuing to build on the strangeness of 2020 and generating some wonderful arts based energy as soon as we can. Kindest of regards. Please continue to stay safe. Nett and Andie 0417 166 824 We acknowledge the traditional Aboriginal owners of Country throughout Australia and pay our respects to them, their culture and their Elders past, present and future.

09.01.2022 Bobby Nicholls is a proud Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung, and Wadjabalok man and the nephew of Sir Douglas Nicholls. Uncle Bobby talks on 3KND this morning about ...a new educational App called Yalinguth a Woi-wurrung word meaning yesterday, YALINGUTH is the name given recently to this exciting App being developed, that will connect people to the Aboriginal history of places through stories and soundscapes. Due to launch next year, YALINGUTH will be a mobile App that is an audio augmented reality experience. Youll be able to go to a place such as Gertrude Street, Fitzroy, and through your headphones and the App, will be able to enter a 3D sound world where as you walk along, youll hear many stories told by Aboriginal people about things that happened there, and what it used to be like. As well as the stories youll also hear atmospheric soundscapes that might include natural sounds of the landscape long ago, or the sound of a protest recorded on those streets in the 70s, or even songs about Fitzroy such as Archie Roachs Charcoal Lane. The project is a collaboration between the Wurundjeri Corporation, Elders Colin Hunter, Robbie Bundle and myself, Storyscape, RMIT University and the University of Melbourne. Its been developed over a number of years and received seed funding from the University of Melbourne and then has been funded by a Philanthropic Foundation and Creative Victoria. Throughout 2019 YALINGUTH partnered with Charcoal Lane and MAYSAR and trained and employed young Aboriginal story gatherers to interview, record, and edit stories shared by their Elders and other community members. This involves grandchildren interviewing grandparents, nieces and nephews interviewing aunts and uncles, and young people meeting with and learning from respected Elders. The young people have so far interviewed 23 people and the project has an open door to anyone in the community who would like to share stories and be a part of it. There are currently a couple of opportunities with YALINGUTH: 1) Art Prize a. The project is seeking submissions from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists for artwork/ or early concept ideas to visually represent the project. b. 1st prize is $1,800 with the potential of further art/ or design work c. 2nd prize is $500 d. 3rd prize is $300 2) Archival Researcher Role a. This is a short-term role to help find archival audio material relating to Fitzroy that could be used on the App b. So that might involve researching with orgs such as community radio, the Koorie Heritage Trust for old interviews or recordings of protests etc, and then seeking the permission for use Submission Dates: The submission date for both these opportunities is actually this Friday 11th September, but for the Archival Researcher Role, you just need to email a CV through to Pip Chandler at [email protected] For the Art Prize, theres not a lot of time between now and Friday, but you dont need to send in a finished artwork, it can just be initial concepts or a photo of an existing artwork. If you need a few more days, and want to get something in early next week, Im sure well be OK with that. Just email Zoe Dawkins to let her know its coming her email [email protected] Two documents with all the details on these two opportunities will be available on the 3KND website after the show, and you can also google Facebook/ YALINGUTH The project will also continue to engage Elders and young people in the community to tell and record stories, so stay tuned on the Facebook Page for more opportunities to get involved and for when the project launches, around April next year! Thank you!
07.01.2022 During this period of uncertainty we will be only open by appointment for you to view the amazing art works in our art space and parlour galleries. For your protection and ours however we will leave you to look on your own and only answer questions following appropriate social distancing measures when asked. We will also be sanitizing after each visitor. Lastly we are only allowing four people in at a time. We apologise for these measures but want you to know you are welcom...e to view and purchase the amazing art peices, cds, novels, cards, glassware on display.

06.01.2022 CLARIFICATION ON BLACK LIVES MATTER Please be aware the Black Lives Matter Art Exhibition at the Shepparton Lake this weekend, Saturday 11th July 2020, is not a... Protest/ March or Gathering. The event is a Symbolic Vision and recognition of the Black Lives Matter Movement and Aboriginal Deaths in Custody struggle. 437 Placards with messages will be strategically placed around the walking tracks of the Shepparton Lake. The number of Placards represent the number of Aboriginal Deaths in Custody since the High Commissioner Report. The intention of this event is for people to Look and Learn and Walk and Talk, as they go about their daily routines of walking around the Lake. As a leading Aboriginal Organisation, Rumbalara and other Organisations supporting the Exhibition are very aware of the Covid 19 Restrictions and we would not support an event that encourages mass gatherings at this point in time.

This... song was recently recorded on the Songs of Kev Carmody tribute album "Cannot Buy My Soul".
