Trips like this are so important in teaching the younger generation about culture and country, and to be able to have some big conversations in a comfortable setting. Big thanks to Ord Valley Aboriginal Health Service - OVAHS and Waringarri Aboriginal Arts for joining in and supporting the trip and especially to our budding photographers!
