Conversation with by Suzanne Andrews -CEO of Gurriny Yealamucka Health Services in Yarrabah- reflecting on how Yarrabah, Australia's largest Aboriginal community, has joined forces with an Australian natural skin care brand to prevent the spread of Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) at a grassroots level.

Biosecurity restrictions implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic presented significant obstacles to clients accessing care. For the residents of Yarrabah requiring dialysis, this threatened to displace them from the community to continue to access life-sustaining haemodialysis. Not only did this model support the continuation of life sustaining care, the move On Country reduced travel time for consumers and costs for the service, which can be reinvested in delivering more care. Many months later and beyond the biosecurity restrictions, the residents of Yarrabah on dialysis are all able to dialyse within their community, on a single shift. This has measurably improved their lifestyle on dialysis, saving about six (6) hours of travel time a week for each resident.

Two little boys dancing for the first time on country at Buddabadoo in Far North Queensland are joined by the spirits of their ancestral 'Popeyes' (grandfathers).  Aboriginal Elder, Aunty Lauraine Barlow shares this beautiful mystical experience with us. Aunty explains that ’Country’ is "the land, the animals, the place, the water, the sea, the people – it’s all that in one; and it’s knowing that you fit in there". Aunty Lauraine also shares how she was called to go on a healing journey up the entire length of Queensland to “sing the spirits on”, and how you’ll know when it’s time to make your own ‘power stick’ when you’re ready to really walk in the way you chose to follow your life’s purpose. Keep listening also for an interesting introduction to the Australian rainforest pygmies. For links to the ‘Act’ that Aunty Lauraine refers to in Part 1, and to more information about the Yarrabah mission, head to my blog for this podcast on www.songlinesaustralia.net.

Ever felt a strong urge to ‘go bush’, hit the surf, climb a mountain, or just sit by a river? Respected Aboriginal Elder, Aunty Lauraine Barlow, explains how she can hear Country call and welcome her, and that Country can also tell one when it’s time to go away again to carry on life’s purpose. Aunty Lauraine also tells us how ‘half-blood’ children were taken from their families and forced to live in the segregated dormitory system at Yarrabah Anglican mission, and how copious files were kept on all Aboriginal people documenting their every move. Aunty Lauraine shares with us her full Aboriginal name and how she came to be the proud custodian of a beautifully-carved Black Wattle walking stick, and talks about ancestral totems. We also talk about songlines, Dreaming paths, the living energy of water, and responsibilities that attach to knowing the songs. The ‘Act’ Aunty Lauraine refers to when she talks about exemptions is The Aboriginal Protection and Restriction of the Sale of Opium Act 1897 (Qld). A link to a copy of the Act will be included in my blog for this episode on www.songlinesaustralia.net website.
