24.01.2022 Happy NAIDOC week everyone! This year's theme is 'Always was, Always will be', which recognizes First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years. Each day this week we will celebrate with a different book from this rich community, starting with an introduction to Gulumerrdjin (Larrakia) language using Madawa (Animals), illustrated by Gulumerrdjin artist Jason Lee and published by Batchelor Institute press. https://batchelorpress.com/node/385

18.01.2022 NAIDOC week is in full swing and today we would like to share with you The Yield by Tara June Winch, published by Penguin Australia and winner of the 2020 Miles Franklin Award. "Profoundly moving and exquisitely written, Tara June Winch’s The Yield is the story of a people and a culture dispossessed. But it is as much a celebration of what was and what endures, and a powerful reclaiming of Indigenous language, storytelling and identity." https://www.penguin.com.au/books/yield-the-9780143785750
