19.01.2022 Congratulations Archie.

17.01.2022 Trace was to be at the 2020 Eel Festival - but that wasn't to be, but fans can support Trace by joining her online. #supportingartists #lakebolaceelfestival #highlyrecommend

16.01.2022 An EF2020 project that was still completed but as we know, no festival for it to make its debut. A sculpture of the yellow tailed black cockatoo by the very talented Natimuk artist Dave Jones #transience and ably assisted by Ararat College students. And a stable mate for our previous projects, an emu and a brolga, who will be dusted off definitely for the 2022 Lake Bolac Eel Festival and hopefully for some smaller events in 2022.... #staytuned #lakebolac See more

15.01.2022 Always Was Always Will Be This NAIDOC Week (8-15 November) we celebrate and acknowledge the spiritual and cultural connections to this country for at least 65,0...00 years, of our First Nations partners. The Coastal Connections Project is one of the many great projects Glenelg Hopkins CMA works on in partnership with Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation. Part of Coastal Connections aims to enhance and protect wetland habitat for the critically endangered Australasian bittern. Gunditjmara Traditional Owners are leading this work across the World Heritage listed Budj Bim Cultural Landscape - particularly on their Tyrendarra and Kurtonitj properties. Cultural burns are being undertaken to create habitat mosaics to increase access to food and sites suitable for nesting benefitting bitterns and many other wetland species found in the area. This project is one of several that include Tradional-owner-led cultural burning supported by Glenelg Hopkins CMA. Others include the Red Tails of the Glenelg Plain - working to protect food sources and habitat of the south eastern red-tailed black cockatoo, a culturally significant species; and the Victorian Volcanic Plains project - aiming to enhance and protect endangered temperate grasslands and related species, in part by reinstating regular cool burning regimes. Funding for these projects is provided by Glenelg Hopkins CMA through the Australian Government's National Landcare Program. #NAIDOC2020 #NAIDOCWeek #NAIDOC You can see how the cultural burns are undertaken and the importance of Traditional Owner experience here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FHAEEh9lhw Note: Some of these images were taken prior to covid mask/physical distancing restrictions.
