23.01.2022 There are still places for planting on the river this Sunday - who is in? *** Bookings essential via the link below ***

22.01.2022 #alwayswasalwayswillbe Always Was, Always Will Be. recognises that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years. First Nations people are spiritually and culturally connected to this country which is criss-crossed by generations of brilliant Nations.... Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were Australia’s first explorers, first navigators, first engineers, first farmers, first botanists, first scientists, first diplomats, first astronomers and first artists. Australia has the world’s oldest oral stories. The First Peoples engraved the world’s first maps, made the earliest paintings of ceremony and invented unique technologies. We built and engineered structures - structures on Earth - predating well-known sites such as the Egyptian Pyramids and Stonehenge. First Nations peoples adaptation and intimate knowledge of Country enabled them to endure climate change, catastrophic droughts and rising sea levels. Always Was, Always Will Be. acknowledges that hundreds of Nations and our cultures covered this continent. All were managing the land - the biggest estate on earth - to sustainably provide for their future. NAIDOC Week 2020 acknowledges and celebrates that our nation’s story didn’t begin with documented European contact whether in 1770 or 1606 - with the arrival of the Dutch on the western coast of the Cape York Peninsula. The very first footprints on this continent were those belonging to First Nations peoples. Our coastal Nations watched and interacted with at least 36 contacts made by Europeans prior to 1770. Many of them resulting in the charting of the northern, western and southern coastlines of our lands and our waters. For First Nations peoples, this nation’s story began at the dawn of time. NAIDOC 2020 invites all Australians to embrace the true history of this country a history which dates back thousands of generations. Our First Nation peoples have the oldest continuing cultures on the planet and their sovereignty was never ceded. It’s about seeing, hearing and learning the First Nations’ 65,000+ year history of this country - which is Australian history. Always Was, Always Will Be.

15.01.2022 Get writing carers! This is the lush green, high rainfall subtropics - for future growth in the Northern Rivers we should (1) stop flushing drinking water down the loo, and (2) use rainwater tanks to meet our water demands - (X) not dams and not (X) precious groundwater mining! #futurewater #northernrivers #rainwater #tanksnotdams #leavewaterintheground

03.01.2022 ***Community Feedback wanted on flood risk study*** Click in the link below to have your say The study recommends measures to manage Lismore’s flood risk that include: Options to raise the CBD and South Lismore levees, remove the Kyogle Road railway embankment and viaduct, and excavate the riverbank at 389 Keen Street.... Land use planning controls on development, voluntary house raising and voluntary house purchasing. Improved emergency management responses before and during flood events, such as flood prediction and warnings, and community flood awareness and readiness.
