This is a special bonus episode of sorts, a live conversation event with Nyikina Warrwa elder, Dr Anne Poelina. We last spoke on the podcast for episode 84 back in May, on the launch of Regenerative Songlines Australia, and resolved to catch up on her country here in the Kimberley later in the year. We ended up doing that at this live event I was honoured to host the Q&A for - a screening of the film we also talked about in May, The Serpent's Tale. It's the story of the Martuwarra Fitzroy River, its ancient Country, its First Peoples, its First Law, its need for recognition and protection, and its abundant opportunities for new economies, and as Anne puts it, the overarching need for sustainable lifeways on Country for Aboriginal people. I wasn't sure if this would turn into a podcast episode. But when the previous episode with Alessandro Pelizzon revealed such profound and significant global implications stemming from Anne's work and what's happening here, it had to be. All the more, given the quality and consequence of the dialogue that night. Given, then, that this is in addition to the usual weekly releases, I initially thought I'd produce a shorter summary version of the conversation. I did edit it down a little, partly due to sound issues, but the conversation gets more profound as it goes, and it's so connected and applicable to dialogue happening right around this country and elsewhere. We're so in this together. 4.10 - Anne and Anthony. 18.35 - Mark Norval, nationally recognised artist and teacher in the region for 40 years. 19.55 - Amanda Dexter, Shire CEO. 24.40 - Peter McCumstie, former Shire President. 29.50 - Anthony James. 32.40 - Professor of Sustainability Peter Newman. 35.10 - Eleanor, local Derby woman. 37.30 - Geoff Haerewa, Shire President. 44.10 - Mark Norval again. 47.10 – Unknown. 49.25 - Amanda Dexter again. 51.30 - Peter McCumstie again. 55.30 - Victor, Anne's old Bunuba school mate who was born in the river. 56.40 – Final words from Anne. For those less familiar with Anne, she is Chair of the esteemed Martuwarra Fitzroy River Council, an international award winner, has multiple postgraduate degrees, and over 30 years' experience in Indigenous health, education, language and community development. This conversation was recorded live at the Sporties in Derby, on Nyikina Country, 9 October 2021. With thanks to the Red Shed Derby Women's Collective, Harry Jakamarra and 6DBY Larrkardi Radio. CORRECTION: Where Anne talks about the sacred site on her country as being 100 million years old, she later corrected this – it's a ridge that is 20 million years old, on bedrock that is 200 million years old.

Actor and musical theatre star Mia Morrissey talks with Australian theatre, film & TV royalty Ursula Yovich about the complicated process of grief and how you can harness it in your writing process and performances. Mia Morrissey is a film, TV and theatre actor whose credits include Bat Eyes (by Killing Ground director Damien Power), In Your Dreams (Channel 7), The Voices Project: Out Of Place (ATYP), The Voice (Channel 7, picked by Ricky Martin), Molly (Channel 7), Harrow (ABC), Alice in Slasherland (The Old Fitz theatre), Home and Away (Channel 7), RENT (Sydney Opera House) and produced and performed in her cabaret Anything You Can Do which brought together female performers to play roles originally written for men. Mia also signed on as an associate producer of Chips and Gravy's Screen Australia funded musical comedy series, She Becomes Her and received funding from The Hayes Theatre to complete her original musical In Loving Memory. Ursula Yovich is a singer, song-writer, actor, playwright and story teller. She grew up in Australian's Northern Territory, in Darwin and Maningrida. As an actor Ursula has worked for all of Australia's leading theatre companies, her performances and writing have been recognised with numerous awards and nominations, most recently four Helpmann Awards 2019 and four Green Room Awards 2020 for the rock musical, Barbara and The Camp Dogs, which she co-wrote with Alana Valentine.

This is an excerpt from episode 84 featuring the last 20 minutes or so of my conversation with Dr Anne Poelina. We pick up the conversation with Anne's powerful articulation of a way to proceed with planning in the Kimberley, on the back of an existing federal government bioregional framework. We go on to talk more about the incredible new film The Serpent's Tale, leading to Anne's heart-rending plea for more of us to correspond with the West Australian government by May 31st. She goes on to suggest how. And her story of the blind Aboriginal elder who sang his way to Uluru – 6 times! – offers a touchstone for the profound nature of the Songlines, and of so much what we stand to gain together, by standing together now. A true circular economy, as Mary Graham puts it - in relationship with everything. Anne often talks about ‘waking up the snake' – the consciousness of the people. We close with me asking her whether she thinks this is happening. You can hear the rest of our conversation in the main episode, ‘Regenerative Songlines: Film, First Law & the Martuwarra Fitzroy River' - https://www.regennarration.com/episodes/084-regenerative-songlines You can see a few terrific photographs on that episode web page too.

This special episode departs from the usual schedule, as there's a particularly pressing aspect to this one. Dr Anne Poelina is a Nyikina Warrwa (Indigenous Australian) woman who belongs to the Mardoowarra, the lower Fitzroy River in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. She is also Chair of the esteemed Martuwarra Fitzroy River Council. When Anne and I last spoke for the podcast, in Broome a few years ago, I said this: “If anywhere epitomizes the critical time we're in, it's in the spectacular cultural and natural landscapes of her homeland. Almost incredibly, there are 40,000+ fracking wells slated for this area, along with the damming of the Fitzroy River, and more ‘old-model' industrial agriculture. Yet the next economy is also in tow here, and this is where Anne is currently focusing her extraordinary breadth of cross-cultural knowledge and experience.” Three years on and a power of work has been done. This includes the forming of Regenerative Songlines Australia. It's to launch in NAIDOC Week. And while that ‘old industrial model' lurks in the Kimberley, a profound new film screened last week called The Serpent's Tale. It documents the creation of Martuwarra, the National Heritage listed Fitzroy River. And its launch draws attention to an important state government submission process on now, while invoking deeper connection with the River and Country generally. This episode was recorded on 20 May and released on 24 May 2021, the anniversary of the exploding of the Juukan Gorge last year, which destroyed a 46,000-year heritage site. A reminder that the stakes couldn't be higher, in terms of staving off disaster, but also ushering in the emerging new story of connection and regeneration. For those less familiar with Anne, she is also an international award winner, Managing Director of Madjulla Incorporated, a qualified nurse, traditional midwife, has multiple postgraduate degrees, and over 30 years' experience in Indigenous health, education, language and community development.
