15.01.2022 TIDDALICK THE FROG Tiddalick The Frog is an Aboriginal Dream Time story which the elders of the Koori Tribe would tell the children to teach them a couple of im...portant lessons. The Story Once , a long time ago in the Dream Time there was a greedy frog called Tiddalick.Tiddalick wanted to be the biggest frog in all the land. One very hot day Tiddalick was very thirsty so he began to drink and drink and drink until the whole billabong was all dried up. When all the other animals came to the billabong to drink there was no water. They knew it was the greedy frog who drank all the water. They were very angry at him. If the animals wanted to get all the water out of Tiddalick and back into the billabong they would have to make Tiddalick laugh until all the water came out. The echidna tried to make him laugh by rolling down the hill into the dried up billabong but Tiddalick didn't laugh. Kookabura was perched high in the gum tree, he pretended to fall out but Tiddalick still didn't laugh. Wombat started dancing but Tiddalick still didn't laugh. None of the animals knew what to and they were still very thirsty. When the eel was dancing he tied himself into a big knot, Tiddalick could not stop laughing at the eel. He laughed so much that all the water came out and ran back into the billabong. From that day on Tiddalick was never that greedy and only drank what he needed. Morals *A little laughter in a bad situation can make a whole lot of difference *Greed is disliked

11.01.2022 Aboriginal spirituality and connection to country can be shared by non-Aboriginal people. Of course there are some aspects of knowledge and culture that are sac...red and privy to certain members of that community only. But every Australian can learn from and embrace the fundamentals of an Aboriginal perspective when it comes to the land and its creatures. Below is a list of suggestions and a starting point for those wanting a deeper understanding of and connection to Aboriginal philosophy. Keep in mind that the below suggestions need to be catered to specific nations/dialects. 1. Learn some of the traditional dialect of your area. Many libraries and bookstores hold local dialect dictionaries and these days there is lots of information on line. There may even be Facebook groups for example which share information about local Aboriginal language. Language is key because it reveals so much about the culture and land that it comes from. Place names are a great place to start. Find out which in your local area are of Aboriginal origin and their meanings - each will reveal something about that place that will enhance your understanding of the local culture and environment. For example, when I think of Nollamarra- a Perth suburb- I know it means kangaroo paw and that this plant would have been in abundance in this area prior to colonisation. 2. Read, listen, watch. Check out Aboriginal films, documentaries and books- particularly those produced, written or heavily contributed to by Aboriginal people. They reveal so much about the values, characteristics, issues and spiritual outlook of FNP. 'Putuparri and the Rainmakers' is an excellent recent example. While this film may not relate to your community- it can't fail to enhance your understanding of Aboriginal people's spiritual connection to country. 3. Read, watch, listen to the Dreaming stories of your area- online searches, I-tunes and app searches, libraries and bookstores often have various local options. They will teach you about the animals of that region and the traditional knowledge of how they came to be and what they represent. They will also help you to understand the values, attitudes and social order of Aboriginal society. 4. Find out which significant sites are in your area- known camping grounds; birthing place; ancestral landforms; scar trees; caves and rock art etc and visit them. Learn as much as you can about the history and importance of the site before going and when you get there allow yourself time and privacy to engage with it and go back in time and feel what was there before. 5. Tread lightly and respectfully take nothing but memories and leave nothing but your footprints. Try to imagine the landscape 200 years ago and connect with that. 6. Enter an unfamiliar area as though entering a person's house for the first time. Enter with respect and caution. Take in your surroundings slowly and in detail and get a sense of the vibe and feeling of the area. 7. When you are near water- particularly before swimming- rub some sand between your palms and release it into the water and/or wipe your hand under your armpit and wash the perspiration off into the water and introduce yourself. Say your name and where you come from and acknowledge the traditional custodians and ask for their blessing to be on their land. Whether you are a spiritual person or not, small, traditional rituals can help you feel connected with country. 8. Talk to the animals. Warble at the magpies, laugh at the kookaburras- they will come closer for a chat and you can admire their personalities and beauty. 9. Look around at the tall native trees for signs of foot hole marks, scarring, native bees, possum scratches, grub holes, resins/sap etc. 10. Learn the plant medicine and food staples of the area, their local names and identify them when you can- prepare and try them. 11. Try your hand at crafting tools from natural resources- spear or tap sticks- there are many great YouTube videos that show you how it will give you a greater knowledge and appreciation of your environment and its many uses. 12. Try and find out which local customs and rules apply and observe them. For example on Noongar country we have a tradition of not whistling at night time. In some cultures it is still important not no say the name of a deceased person for a designated period; and there are traditional men's and women's areas. 13. Learn what the more common symbols used in art represent- many are consistent across the country- I.e water, camp site, person- while others such as animal tracks and bush tucker vary by region. This will allow you to interpret more Aboriginal art with a deeper insight and ability to interpret meaning from symbols. 14. Learn and mark the traditional seasons on your calendar, learn to say the names of each and what native foods are/were common that time of year. 15. Do a quick acknowledgment of country at family events/gatherings and when entering the area of another nation/tribe. Simply acknowledge the traditional people of that area and the fact that you are respectfully visiting their traditional land. I.e We acknowledge that we are now on Yamatji country and pay our respects to the custodians, ancestors and spirits of this land.

09.01.2022 Today is Mabo Day. Mabo Day commemorates Mer Island man Eddie Koiki Mabo and his successful efforts to overturn the legal fiction of terra nullius, or land be...longing to no-one. We remember and respect the Aboriginal ancestors who cared for and nurtured this Country. It is in their footsteps that we travel these lands and waters. We acknowledge Awabakal people and Elders past, present and future. MAC has worked with the Aboriginal Reference Group for over 20 years towards reconciliation and together we established the dedicated yapang (yah-pung) program.

We had the chance to create one if the letters of the groups name in any craft style we wished. I asked for O. I hand-sewed a felt white gold ring with a ruby setting.

08.01.2022 I need advice. I got into an argument with my Son2 over the weekend because he gave me $500 to buy a new Christmas Tree and decorations. He said whatever was leftover, I could keep and buy art supplies. He’s mad at me now because he doesn’t like the tree I picked out!!! . What should I do? ... I have already spent the leftover money.
