18.01.2022 Today is R U OK? Day. We can all go through tough times when we don’t feel great about our lives or ourselves. That’s why it’s important to look out for each other.

15.01.2022 Two hours south of Cairns, the small Aboriginal community of Jumbun is driving big changes. As part of its proactive COVID-19 response, Jumbun fast-tracked plans for its community store years ahead of schedule. In June, Jumbun opened its Oom-Bul-Mun store meaning meeting place/gathering in Girramay language. People who once travelled out of town for supplies, can now feed their families without leaving their community. Coordinator Nicole Huxley said the milestone was a step... towards self-sufficiency. There were many sleepless nights in the height of the COVID-19 risk to balance community needs, but the priority was always the health of our Elders and old people, Nicole said. Jumbun now looks forward to vibrant plans for agriculture, bush tucker and tourism plans. We are exploring agriculture and ways to responsibly, sustainably and ethically produce and market bushfoods while caring for country, she said. I vividly imagine our kids being able to pick a fruit from the tree and never go hungry. We are proud to work alongside the people of Jumbun towards local aspirations.
