24.03.2022 Today is the Anniversary of the formal apology made by then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, on behalf of the Parliament of Australia, on 13 February 2008 to Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people for the forced removal of children from their parents and community over generations. #sorry #apology #firstnations #indigenous #stolengenerations

05.03.2022 - Rosalie Kunoth-Monks OAM died peacefully in Alice Springs hospital on 26 January, surrounded by her family. Ms Kunoth-Monks shot to stardom as a teenager when she became the first Aboriginal woman to play a leading role in a feature film Jedda (1955). Directed by Charles Chauvell, it was the first Australian movie to be shot entirely in colour and the first to be screened at @festivaldecannes.... Despite her fame at the time, #RosalieKunothMonks turned away from the limelight and became an Anglican nun in Melbourne where she served for ten years, before leaving to continue her advocacy work. In 1993, Rosalie Kunoth-Monks was recognised for her advocacy, with the Medal of the Order of Australia and again in 2015 when she was named #NorthernTerritory Australian of the year. Rosalie Kunoth-Monks is survived by her 5 children and 19 grandchildren. A memorial service to celebrate a remarkable life is being planned for Alice Springs, before Ms Kunoth-Monks is laid to rest at a private burial on country at Utopia. Repost from @nitv_au

24.01.2022 We love a good yarn. We love hearing stories. We love sharing ours. Storytelling is an integral part of early life learning. It helps mould individuals, families and communities for a stronger future. Sharing stories has helped maintain the oldest continuous living civilisation in one of the harshest environments on earth. Storytelling in Aboriginal society goes much deeper in its implicit meanings within a structure that is holistically and uniquely Australian.... #reddustoz #aboriginal #aboriginalidentity #aboriginalculture

21.01.2022 Our August Community Cook Winners Announced // A personal note from our guest judge Nathan Lovett from the National Indigenous Culinary Institute: " Thank you to all for submitting your creations, it's such a shame that I could only look at these amazing dishes and not have the pleasure of tasting them also. In picking a winner, I have chosen Jess from Melbourne. I really liked the way Jess presented her dish, the creativity with how it was presented gives a sense of communa...l approach to food and how it could be a shared meal with friends and family, which I really liked. I would also like to recognise Leo & Jill from Melbourne with a Highly Commendable achievement with their dish. I loved the homely touch of the fire in the background, it reminded me of cold winters nights on the NSW South Coast and sitting around the fire with my family. " Congratulations to our above mentioned entrants and a special mention to all of the amazing cooks that entered, the pictures and videos were so good! Some great prizes are on their way to the winners thanks to AustSuperfoods Stay tuned as we announce our guest judge and recipe for our Spring September Community Cook Competition and we look forward to seeing your creations. #winners #august #community #nativeingredients #cooking

21.01.2022 September's Community Cook Competition sure is a sweet deal // Red Dust along with AustSuperfoods & our guest judge Jo Barrett will be on the look out for our next budding community cook with Strawberry & Lemon Myrtle Dodges - YUMMO! But first, why don't we get to know our guest judge a little more...... Tell us about yourself Jo "I have been a chef for 14 years. I have always loved cooking and from a very young age knew I wanted to spend my time in the kitchen. For the last 5 years I have been cooking at Oakridge Winery in the Yarra Valley as Co - Executive chef. As a young chef I cooked in Canada and New Zealand before returning to Australia to train as a baker and pastry chef. I am a produce driven chef and cook from my local surrounds and kitchen garden." If you werent a chef, what would you be doing? "A farmer growing food; fruit and vegetables or a florist" Name a career highlight in your journey so far: "I have loved so many aspects of what I get to do and what I have been exposed to with being a chef. Representing Australia and competing last year in the World Trophy of pastry was an amazing experience." In terms of local produce, what are you loving right now? "I love spring and the change of season. Watching the garden change and blossom is a sign winter is done. This time of year I love making cheese from the local milk in the Yarra Valley. The flowers & clover that pop up in the lush grasses make for fatty full flavoured milk for cheese making. " Whats your favourite native Australian bush food to cook with and why? "It is hard to pick one however I love Davison Plum. I love the intense flavour & colour. It is versatile in both sweet and savoury applications. Its natural sourness is amazing for balancing dishes and providing a unique flavour. I also really love Geraldton wax. The flavour is incredible and again so versatile with both sweet or savoury applications. " Thanks Jo! :) #learntocook #nativeingredients #competitiontime

19.01.2022 Big shout out to Christ Church Grammar School for launching their "walk with red dust 2020" fundraiser.. Students, teachers & parents have come together to raise funds for the community of Utju & Areyonga School by completing a virtual walk from CCGS in South Yarra to Utju, Northern Territory. Just a short 2588km (whoa!) stroll, travelling through Adelaide before heading up through the centre to Alice Springs and then making their way out to Utju.... It may not be the same as heading to Areyonga for our usual September school holiday program with the Grade 6 students of CCGS however, we are grateful to stay connected during this time & learn about our country along the way. Good luck to all involved, you will smash it! If you would like to support this great fundraiser head to https://walk-with-red-dust-2020.raisely.com/donate

12.01.2022 Huge Congratulations to Kieran Karritpul // We've been walking alongside the Nauiyu community for more than a decade and it was during one of our Healthy Living Programs that we got to know Kieran the artist. It was a school holiday program and we had decided to paint a huge mural on the wall of the Sport and Recreation Stadium for the whole community to be involved in and enjoy (it is still there to this day, see pics below) A team favourite during these programs was to al...so visit the @Merrepen Arts gallery located within the community where they showcase stunning artwork from locals like Kieran. Every piece of art tells a story entrusted to the artist to share. Today, we couldn't be more proud of Kieran who was highly praised at Godinymayin's recent and possibly best ever art exhibition.

Strawberry & Lemon Myrtle Dodgers - YES PLEASE INGREDIENTS: Biscuit 250g Plain Flour110g Icing Sugar (powdered sugar)200g Butter softened2 Egg Yolks1 Vanilla Pod, de-seedPinch of Sea Salt Filling 300g Strawberry Jam1.5 Tsp Lemon Myrtle Power METHOD: Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, cream the butter, vanilla seeds and icing sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the flour and yolks. Mixing on a low speed to form a sough, for about 2 minutes. Shape the dough into a flat disc, wrap and refrigerate.The pastry is high in butter so it will be very soft. It is important to chill the pastry for at least an hour. Remove the pastry from the fridge and allow to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Roll the pastry out on floured greaseproof paper until it is 1cm thick. Cut pastry into circles (10cm in diameter), than with a cutter of your choice, cut the centre out of half of the circles, 50% will be bases, and 50% will be the tops.Pop into the fridge for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Remove the biscuits from the fridge and place into the oven. Bake for 12 15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. The tops will be cook quicker than the bases. Once cooked remove from the oven and cool before removing from the baking trays. Whilst the biscuits are cooling, mix the Lemon Myrtle into the jam. Spread the strawberry and Lemon Myrtle jam over the base biscuits and sandwich together with the top. Sprinkle with a little icing sugar and more Lemon Myrtle. Enjoy!

11.01.2022 Sunday Music Session takes place in Utju // The lead up to this trip began many weeks ago with Utju being the first community to participate in Red Dust's remote learning music program delivery model due to the COVID virus & border closures. Abraham and Stephan had been zooming weekly with Red Dust to begin the song creation process. However, a few weeks ago the Bio security lifted for remote communities in the NT and the opportunity arose for NT based staff to pay Utju a ...visit in person. The week began with the band jamming and recording 5 songs in a studio set up in the school, eventually working on one of the songs that had been developed through the remote delivery project. Stephan, Melvin, Dickie, and Ephram among others all played on the song with many others contributing in other ways throughout the recording process. The song was then further developed by senior Unity College students currently at Areyonga School and some former students in the community also getting on board to write lyrics and record vocals, even incorporating local members of the famous Central Australian Aboriginal Women's Choir. The whole project was very much community driven with Abraham playing a primary role in producing the song and mobilising the community around the project which is evident in both the song and the video. The song is about how communities look after each other and keep each other safe and whilst it does not explicitly mention Covid19, the song is inspired by recent events and talks about keeping communities safe from within and the need for everyone to listen and work together in Utju to stay safe. Some truly incredible local musicians are featured here with a stunning backdrop, so while we can't all be there in person right now, we can in spirit & it was amazing to get our feet back on the red dust. Big shout out to @Jonty & the amazing teachers & staff at @Areyonga School. Happy Fathers Day! #music #song #community #enjoy

10.01.2022 This year Red Dust marks a significant milestone. It was 25 years ago that our founder John Van Groningen led a group of athletes to engage youth and families in remote Indigenous communities. John's passion, drive and energy led to the establishment of Red Dust Role Models in 2006. To mark our 25th birthday we've created the Red Dust Circle to support our work into the future. We invite you to join us and be part of the Red Dust story.... https://red-dust-circle.raisely.com/ #reddustoz

10.01.2022 A massive CONGRATULATIONS to the Year 6 & Year 5 students, teachers and parents of Christ Church Grammar School with their Walk with Red Dust 2020. It was a huge success having completed a whooping 3,149 km's walked, which not only saw the group reach the community of Utju in record time, but looks like they are making their way back to CCGS Sth Yarra as well. :-) The goal was to raise $3,000 to go towards special projects and excursions for the students of Areyonga Schoo...l and well what can we say..? CCGS ended up smashing that goal and doubled it raising an impressive $6,014.26. Although the virtual walk will never compare to being able to interact on a personal level with the communities, this year has been anything but normal and we value any connection we have been able to achieve. Thank you so much CCGS, we can not wait to see what the students do with your fundraiser! #connection #fundraiser #walktingtogether #covidtimes #areyonga #utju #stayingactive

07.01.2022 Celebrating National Children's Day // National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Childrens Day is a day dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating our children on or around August 4. So much of what we do is with the children of the communities we visit. It is their strength and culture we witness each day and the impact that storytelling, family, culture & resilience can have on the next generation.... What can you do to celebrate? Your workplace, school, local community or family home can host a morning tea, BBQ, sports day or afternoon of fun activities. We know that Covid may prevent some of these activities from happening, however if you are at home, grab your kids and have a fun day celebrating them & your culture. If you are a school, reach out to us, we may be able to set up a zoom call with one of the schools we visit for a fun two way exchange. Whatever you choose, help create a National atmosphere of celebration, respect and recognition for our elders of tomorrow. Credit to: SNAICC-National Voice for our Children

01.01.2022 Sunday's Music Session heads to the Top End - Nauiyu, Daly River // "Strong girls stand up for each other, Strong girls look out for one another, we got to stay together, Strong girls, strong girls forever..." Powerful words back then and words we can live by during these unprecedented times.... The song Wakai (which has reached an astounding 96,000 views on You Tube) was created during one of our 3 day Strong Young Women's programs along the river crossing at Tipperary Station. Three days on country yarning, fishing, yoga, art therapy, sleeping under the stars and creating this beautiful song. We would like to acknowledge our music team Wayne & Steve, Maddie from Red Cross, Bridget Kikitin, Troy & Dylan from the clinic & the Strong Young Women from the community of Nauiyu who wrote the lyrics and cherographed the music clip. We miss you all and look forward to visiting again soon.
