The Premier begins NAIDOC week with a bang

Our Kids danced in the big smoke in  George street at the Government offices 
and danced their hearts out. What a big trip, from the ferry, to the bus and back 
again all 18 kids, Patty n Kaiyu.  All the older ones did a good job of helping
 with the younger ones. They know their stuff and had heaps of fun dancing, 
had a big feed of crocodile, kangaroo and bush tucker, than had fun some more.  
Thank you to all who helped make this day a deadly one to remember for all of us.

NAIDOC opens for 2010 in Brisbane

Last Sunday we rose early to get to musgrave Park for the official opening of BBrisbane's Celebrations.  What a deadly day it was too.  Nunka was with us, Kimmy, Matty, Patty, Tiga, Reilly, Kaiyu and Rosie all danced.  Patty n Nunka did a smoking ceromony for the elders and there were speakers toaking about how NAIDOC began and who was involved.  Another uncle spoke about how we need to be part of the grass roots, low key events around town as well as the Big days like Family Day.  And questioned appointed leaders in the lime light as they are always absent from these events.  Hhhhhhmmmmm....... Something for us all to think about hey.  Their was a feed from Kupmurri delights and it was good to be with mob on the mainland again.
