21.01.2022 In celebration of 10 years in the community of Roebourne, we're delighted to announce our new website! New Roebourne builds on the legacy of the Yijala Yala Project, working with Elders, community members and young people to help create a bright new future, a New Roebourne. Check out our current projects with the community - from Songs for Peace to the Digital Lab and more. The website also features beautiful artwork by young people of Roebourne - Ciara, Shiloh, Dolly, Mat...ilda, Jasmine and Bianca - in collaboration with Artist George Rose. With the deepest respect we acknowledge and thank all the Elders, leaders and community members who have guided and supported our work over the years. We'd also like to thank all the businesses, community groups, individuals and government agencies who've given their support. And finally thank you to our friends at EPIC Agency and Green Peas for Breakfast for their awesome web design work. See more
