16.01.2022 Belated New Years Greetings, All! Our recent silence has partly as we have been busy preparing for & helping run a week long Arts Summer School. However, weve also been devastated by the fires around the country &, given the nature of our performance programs, unsure of exactly how to express this in the current climate. Meanwhile, we have found this article useful & hope you do too...
16.01.2022 One of the best articles & videos we've seen recently! Wise words on cultural cool burn benefits from Victor Steffensen - hope in a summer where it seems the country is 'burning to nothing': "Indigenous burning is activating the landscape to bring it back to life, to look after biodiversity and stop the country burning to nothing". Proud of this great Aussie, exporting wisdom around the world READ & WATCH

11.01.2022 Beautiful, practical "The Mimal Rangers of central Arnhem Land are looking after country the right way, preventing damaging wildfires and reducing emissions, with a fire-spreading raptor at their side." https://www.bushheritage.org.au/newsle//winter/fire-birds #coolburn #sustainedabundance

08.01.2022 UPDATE on the Mutton Bird (Yolla or Short Tailed Shearwater) migration this year Numbers of breeding pairs are down. Eggs are usually laid on 26 Nov, and an egg count (census) taken in December. So, this month will tell how many breeding pairs have made it though this year's potentially disastrous migration. Mutton Birds (traditionally known as Yolla) have been part of human traditions and a healthy diet for thousands of years in this part of the world. Meanwhile, we're continuing to make our new performance collaboration with Aunty Patsy Cameron, Biz Adams and Lisa Kennedy on these remarkable little birds...
08.01.2022 Good news story: This recent cultural cool-burn & bushfires... When we look at the damage caused by bushfires, tens of billions of dollars of damage, why can't we put good money into looking after the land, and evolving this culture to be closer to the landscape in the future?" https://mobile.abc.net.au//indigenous-burning-be/10258140
