The first story I ever memorised by heart was by Ambelin Kwaymullina from the Palyku people of the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The story is called “Crow and the Waterhole”. I found the book at a market and began laughing as I read the story! This is our story, this has been my story!
There was once a village. Not one marked by fences or postcodes, but by the way people looked out for each other. By how children were raised with many hands, how elders were listened to, how the earth was known like a friend
Do we ever stop and consider the First Peoples who for Thousands upon thousands of generations have care taken this beautiful Land?

I facilitated a training program offered by the ABC Foundation called the AWRAE – Aboriginal Woman’s Research Assistants and Evaluation Program. This brought together a group of amazing local Woman who embarked on a journey of sharing and learning together. The Woman wished to fulfill a vision from their Elders to grow food in their homelands. Please see Amelia, Shirley and Pauline in the garden sharing their thoughts and insights regarding their experience.
Amelia Turner and Kristianne Neil are both Arrernte woman living in Mparntwe – Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. Both are participants of the AWRAE Program run by the Aboriginal Biodiversity and Conservation Foundation who are based in Western Australia

A protest song that shines a light on Australias 2019 bushfire crisis and Nainiouman’s
