Join SAND co-founders Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo in conversation with Aboriginal elders and authors Uncle Paul Callaghan and Uncle Paul Gordon for a colorful community conversation, “On the Dreaming Path,” where we'll explore some of the profound teachings shared in their latest book. "Uncle" Paul Callaghan is an award-winning author and accomplished speaker. He has qualifications in a very diverse range of disciplines and a PhD in creative practice. He is also an Aboriginal story teller from the land of the Worimi people who has spent many years “out bush” listening and learning. He has life experience in many industries, Aboriginal culture and heritage and Aboriginal community services. "Uncle" Paul Gordon is a Ngemba man. Born in Brewarrina, he grew up on the Barwon River in Northwestern New South Wales, Australia. Since 1983 he has spent most of his time with the Old Men learning about country and lore. Uncle Paul has dedicated his life to teaching and working with communities throughout Australia to support learning through lore and culture. For the past 15 years, he has been leading camps and workshops for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to reconnect to culture. As a traditional knowledge holder and custodian of Aboriginal lore, he continues to share as part of his obligation to thousands of years of Aboriginal culture. The underpinning foundation of the book is his journey through depression and the role Aboriginal culture, spirituality and philosophy had in not only enabling him to recover, but also empowering him to live life by his truth rather than everybody else's expectations. The book has a number of exercises and models based on his experience aimed at assisting people from all walks of life to build the courage and skills to live a life of purpose, choice and wellbeing. You will find it is a combination of styles including textbook, self help, Aboriginal history, Aboriginal philosophy, Aboriginal spirituality and an autobiography of his journey through depression.

In this episode I speak with Uncle Peter Williams of Ngemba Country in NSW. He is a senior song person and contributed to a chapter in my new book Belonging to the Earth. We chat about how he got into learning about traditional song and dance practices, the area he's from around Brewarrina, the River Tour, and his dreams to set up a cultural center. If you'd like to know more about Uncle Peter's work, you can find him on Facebook via his artist page Mara Mara: https://www.facebook.com/peterthulliiwilliams Belonging to the Earth is about ways that the nature spirituality community is responding to the threat of the climate crisis.

It doesn't mean acceptance...When you love something, you're not silent about it.” – Vicky Shukuroglou Loving Country: A Guide to Sacred Australia is a guidebook by Dark Emu author Bruce Pascoe and co-author and photographer Vicky Shukuroglou. It offers a new way to explore and fall in love with Australia by seeing it through an Indigenous lens. The duo speaks with ABC Radio National's Daniel Browning about their beautifully designed road map that celebrates some 65,000 years of inhabitancy, including the fish traps at Brewarrina and rivers that feed the Great Barrier Reef, and the need to love and protect Country amidst the recent and ongoing destruction and devastation of sacred sites in this land.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The end of NSW's long and difficult lockdown is in sight, with the state set to reopen on Monday, but there are concerns about what this might mean for communities where vaccine rates are below 70 per cent. Across north-western NSW the number of double vaccinated people has increased dramatically but vaccination rates for Indigenous people are falling behind.

Katrina Ward, acting CEO Walgett and Brewarrina AMS, confirmed vaccination rates have increased in both regional NSW communities since the outbreak of COVID 19 in the area.

Ngemba businesswoman Trish Frail explains how the vibrant community is banding together in this crisis.

Sydney could be in the grips of lockdown until November, with Premier Gladys Berejiklian saying harsh restrictions will remain for at least 11 more weeks - until the vaccination rate is due to reach 70%; the regional NSW communities of Bogan, Bourke, Brewarrina, Coonamble, Gilgandra, Narromine, Walgett and Warren have been locked down for a week after the virus spread outside of Greater Sydney; and a mission to free a whale trapped in shark nets off the Gold Coast will resume this morning.

30 years ago to the day, a royal commission into Indigenous deaths in custody handed its findings down. Since then, at least 450 more First Nations people have died while on the inside, and with at least five of those deaths recorded just last month, it's clear many of the problems of three decades ago remain. So what, if anything, has changed? Today on The Signal, we hear from those whose anguish provided the impetus for the original inquiry. Do they think anything has improved, or was the three-year-long inquiry all that time ago in vain?

Easter Saturday can be considered a quiet period after the crucifixion of Jesus but as Paul Tait, in a special sermon all the way from Brewarrina tells us, there is plenty to learn from those faithful to Jesus at that time.

This week on Dirty Linen we talk to trailblazers who are shining a light for their communities, trying new things, striking brave paths. We start with Ngemba woman Trish Frail who recently launched Thulii Ngemba Cafe in Brewarrina in north-western New South Wales. Bre is also known for its ancient Aboriginal fish traps, "built before the Egyptian pyramids were even an embryo".https://www.facebook.com/thuliingemba/Follow Dirty Linen on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=enFollow Danihttps://www.instagram.com/danivalentFollow Deep In The Weeds on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=enFollow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/Follow Huck (Executive Producer)https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/

Today you’re going to hear from Pattie Lettice.But first a little back story… I was born in Moree and grew up on the North West Slopes and Plains of NSW. My mum’s family is from Mungindi on the NSW QLD border and I’ve always said that’s the centre of my soul. I had to go away for high school and uni and was homesick for the North West for 13 years. I knew if I became a teacher that I would get a job at Moree or Mungindi - that was the dream. I’ve always had a real connection to that country. Towards the end of my degree however I met my now husband in Narrabri and that is where I ended up. I love it here and loved talking about our western towns with Pattie for this podcast such as Walgett, Lightning Ridge and Brewarrina.10 years ago I moved back to Narrabri to do my internship at Narrabri Public School under Craig Jollow and this is where I met Pattie Lettice, our AEO or Aboriginal Education Officer. I took an instant liking to her and have always enjoyed hearing parts of her story. I’ve taught at nine schools in our district and have learnt that Pattie is an absolute stand out in the way that she conducts herself, her inclusive attitude and passion for reigniting her culture with our kids. We share a passion for teaching children and she continues to inspire me to love all children, despite their background, home life or what we might perceive to be their limited potential. Pattie is a living example that no matter where you come from or what you go through, if you set yourself a goal and work hard, you can achieve it.Pattie is a very proud Gamilaraay woman, married to her husband Noel, of 34 years and mother to too many children to count. In December of 2016 Pattie and Noel lost their only daughter Kia to cancer at age 22. Obviously that was a devastating loss for their family and I love seeing how they continue to honour Kia’s memory and carry her with them wherever they go.Our own daughter Bridie started kindergarten at Narrabri Public School this year. Like many families, we’ve missed watching her in her first year of school as we’d imagined. To celebrate NAIDOC week this year, Pattie taught all kindergarten children an Acknowledgement of Country song in language. It was filmed and shared on social media for families to see. I was very overwhelmed by this, here was our daughter who doesn’t identify as being Aboriginal but being included in this cultural opportunity which represented to me that we are moving forward. Pattie makes me more proud to be Australian and also a part of our wonderful Narrabri Shire community.If you’re looking for a resilient, Australian woman from this bush, look no further than Pattie Lettice.

Decked out in a blue and yellow uniform of a firefighter is Burra, a 23-year-old Aboriginal boy from Brewarrina. Not only was he the first person on his fathers side to complete his Higher School Certificate but he is also the first crew leader of the newly formed All-Indigenous Mitigation Squad in regional New South Wales. Crisscrossing our way across vast North West New South Wales and flying over Australia's most hidden tourist attraction The Brewarrina Fishtraps, we stumbled upon Christopher "Burra" Mchughes. Not only is Burra a natural leader he is a keen photographer, and a shining example of what people in his community look up to. A Ngemba Gamilaraay man, Burra is dedicated to his Aboriginal heritage, and as we sit listening to the flow of the Barwon River and marvel at the fish traps, Burra tells us of his heritage, his community as a whole and his hopes and dreams to one day be a Paramedic giving back to his people. This young man will probably be Australia's next Prime Minister, yep i'd go that far.. So take 20 minutes out of your busy schedule to meet Burra, you won't regret it.

'The Warmer the Climate, the Warmer the People', Peter has been in the livestock industry for 30+ years, servicing Ivanhoe, Broken Hill, Bourke, Brewarrina and everywhere in between. Now based in Nyngan, Western NSW and working for the Australian Wool Network, we chat to Pete about livestock markets domestically and internationally, and what the next few months may have in store for sheep, cattle and wool prices. Enjoy! 

Continued rain has been welcomed by Brewarrina graziers, a suggestion the wine industry should ramp up online sales into China after coronavirus, and earwigs are attacking crops in the Riverina.

On last week's podcast we reported that the government will be closing four correctional centres in NSW. This week, POVB Chairperson Nicole Jess and PSA Senior Industrial Officer Julie Bond got a first hand look at the devastating outcome for two of those communities.

Brewarrina is a town of fewer than 2000 people in north-west NSW and is famous as the home of the oldest surviving human-made structure in the world, the Brewarrina fish traps. Expected to be around 40 thousand years old, the resilient and innovative fish traps personify the town and the people it raises. One of those people is Barbie-Lee Kirby. Meanwhile, in 2016, at the annual CareerTrackers gala dinner, a man by the name of Alan Joyce presented an award for Intern of the Year. Before he read the winners name, he stood in front of the packed room and confidently announced: “ If a gay Irish man can be the CEO of QANTAS, then so can an Aboriginal woman.“ Moments later, Barbie emerged on stage to resounding applause. And her excellence certainly didn’t end on that night. Since then, Barbie has gone on to be an employee of Qantas, she’s a board member for the National Aboriginal Sporting Chance Academy (NASCA) and the Founder of We Pledge: an initiative that connects Aboriginal high school girls in Brewarrina with other Indigenous female professionals who are working in a range of fields across the corporate, government and non-profit sector.

"We were bringing the voices of people that didn't get inside the building, inside the building and making them count. And I took that as an incredible responsibility, that you should give those voices weight and dignity and power." We are excited to announce that this is the FIRST EPISODE OF OUR STS SERIES! The goal of the STS (science and technology studies, or science, technology and society - your pick!) Series is to explore the ways that humans, science and technology interact. While we have released some STS episodes in 2018, we still had some left in the bag from the 4S Conference PLUS many new ones as well. Let's go! Genevieve Bell, Director of the Autonomy, Agency and Assurance (also known as the 3A) Insitute and Florence McKenzie Chair (which promotes the inclusive use of technology in society) at the Australian National University, Vice President and Senior Fellow at Intel Corporation, and ABC's 2017 Boyer Lecturer, talks to our own Jodie-Lee Trembath about building the future and a question at the heart of STS inquiry: "what is important to humans and how we can make sense of that to unpack the world that we live in?". They begin by reflecting on the Acknowledgement of Country that we begin every podcast episode with and the power that comes from realising our positions, then discuss being an anthropologist in Silicon Valley, learning how to 'translate' anthropology to different audiences, predicting the world in 10 years time and the importance of rituals (especially when finishing your PhD!). For more about 3AI, check out their website: https://3ainstitute.cecs.anu.edu.au  Or check out their LinkedIn page: https://au.linkedin.com/company/anu-3a-institute QUOTATIONS (full list on website) "For me, the notion of always being acutely aware of where you are located in time and space is a powerful way of being and to me the ability to do that in Australia is a big thing. Part of why that is an important one to me is the, I've spent the last 30 years living in the United States. And that's a place that also has history with Indigenous people and colonial forces. It also has existing Indigenous communities throughout the nation. And people don't acknowledge that. And there's never a notion of a Welcome to Country or an Acknowledgement of Country." "Mum was really clear that you should always be working to make the world a better place. That you actually had a moral obligation to make the world better than the one you found it. And not for yourself but for others."

No Bunda Bunda on Ngemba LandWe learn about the fight to stop the nomination for the radioactive waste dump at Brewarrina being approved. Brewarrina is a small town in north west NSW. It is home to the largest fish traps in the world, and are thought to be the world’s oldest man made structure. They are estimated to be over 40,000 years old. Despite the presence of this astonishing local feature, the Brewarrina council is trying to progress a nomination for a radioactive waste dump on the land.  Loud and strong, the community is saying Keep Bre Nuke free.https://www.facebook.com/nimnw/ 

Local resident, Trish Frail speaks out about the fight to keep the western NSW town of Brewarrina nuclear free

Bundabunda - Bad Poison, the fight to keep Brewarrina nuclear free

Chris & I get together in the chook shed, yep chook shed ... it's eggsactly the best place to hatch our latest conversation. We simply had a chat about a few things … camping shoes (well … my thongs), a trip up The Darling, creating a check list (and using it), water for the van, and just how do you pronounce Brewarrina, plus we chat about some fairly old fish traps? We hope you enjoy …

Set in the 1950s on the fringe of a country town, Rainbow’s End is a thought-provoking, often hilarious and emotionally powerful snapshot of a Koori family - Nan Dear, her daughter Gladys and Gladys’ daughter Dolly; it dramatises their struggle for decent housing, meaningful education, jobs and community acceptance.--Jane Harrison is an indigenous Australian writer and playwright. A descendant of the Muruwari people of New South Wales, from the area around Bourke and Brewarrina, Harrison grew up in the Victorian Dandenongs with her mother and sister. She began her career as an advertising copywriter, before beginning work as a writer with the Ilbijerri Theatre Company. In the late 90s, Harrison was commissioned by Ilbijerri to write Stolen, about the Stolen Generations. The play premiered in ‘98, and was followed by seven annual seasons in Melbourne, plus extensive national and international tours.
