"The restoration work we do here is extremely important it’s about sharing our story, a place, but it’s also about bringing back to people the connection we have with everything that happens here.

14.01.2022 "The 2020 National NAIDOC Poster, Shape of Land, was designed by Tyrown Waigana, a Noongar and Saibai Islander man. Tyrown’s artwork tells the story of how the Rainbow Serpent came out of the Dreamtime to create this land. It is represented by the snake and it forms the shape of Australia, which symbolises how it created the lands. The overlapping colours on the outside is the Dreamtime. The figure inside the shape of Australia is a representation of Indigenous Australians showing that this country - since the dawn of time - Always Was, Always Will Be Aboriginal Land." This week is NAIDOC week and there are so many great events online and conversations to share.Check out naidoc.org.au for more information.

"Gardeners are happy that any excess garden produce will be used and locals love to get fresh produce, particularly if they don't garden themselves. And community organisations are benefiting from the cash. It's simple, and lovely. ...We enjoy it, and have met so many amazing people. We consider ourselves very fortunate to be able to do this." Robyn Do you have something similar happening in your local area? . . . .
