23.01.2022 GEBIE GANG are getting ready for their men’s camp in a few weeks time This week the guys have been making fishing spears.

Wonder who will win this challenge? #gebiegang #cdpsuccess #communitydevelopmentprogram #angurugucommunity #traditionalspearmaking #fishingspears #huntingoncountry #youthprograms @ Angurugu Community

06.01.2022 This week GEBIE GANG headed out on country for a 5 day camp at the beautiful Red Sands area with 12 young men, Russ and Jesso. The boys have done plenty of hunting, catching fresh fish, crays and turtles to be shared around the fire at night Some highlights to date include 6 on 6 beach soccer on the waters edge and sitting around the camp fire at night discussing life as a young person in community, whilst playing the game of ‘riddle’ and sipping on cups of tea. GCC and A...LC Music and Media joined the camp for a few nights during the week and the boys had a surprise visit from Freda and Abel which was really nice. It's been a blast of a week and we couldn't be more proud of what these young men have achieved. Stay tuned for more updates #gebiegang #communitydevelopmentprogram #youthprogram #anindilyakwa #grooteeylandt
