I come from the oldest living culture in the world

I come from the oldest living culture in the world. Born into a wealth of love, knowledge, kin, connection and responsibility to boodjar (mother earth).
.
Many great old people have guided me - still do - and I am grateful for their love and trust, especially when it comes to language and life. They taught me to watch, listen and learn in a way that it would grow strength, maturity, love and eventually leadership. I spent as much time with them as I could, hearing language, speaking language, knowing language and learning about creation, belonging and responsibility. I always listened intently. Still do.
.
Every day is another attempt to do my demangku (ancestors) proud. It is an honour to carry the wisdom of their teachings. I have a great responsibility to carry their love and language to the next.

My dear friend, Grantley Page, came to stay last week. He’s 83 and still full of adventure… such a storyteller and a daredevil. He certainly lives a full life! We’ve shared some fun times over the years. Here’s a few photos from the volt 🙌🏼

Blue sequins. Blue sequins! 😍
The Sapphires 2010 Australian Tour co-presented by @blackswanstc and @belvoirst, written by Tony Briggs.
A challenging tour (personally) with immense learning curves, but an absolute honour to be a part of the journey. I still utilise the singing tips @anuchristine gave me 🙌🏼

Our precious little #Noongar boy is going to love this book and I cannot wait to read it to him on Christmas Day. Written by @adamroy37 and @ellielaingnews with gorgeous illustrations by David Hardy, I highly recommend this one for the children in your life. Let the gammin-Santa-and-elves-wrapping begin! 🤣🎄🎁 🤩

This is #djirucountry. My husband and our son and I are going to miss this place so much 😍 we are grateful for the love and care shown by the wonderful people of this town but most importantly we are grateful for the blessing of the #djiru people and their ancestors who cared for us during our stay. This place has deep history and an even deeper story. Until next time, kwobidak wardan boodjar, boordawan ngala kor-koorliny djoorapiny nidja nyin 💝 🏝
