Irma and Karen chat about juggling jobs to survive while writing. Then Karen talks to Nardi Simpson about how writing songs differs from writing books, why she decided to start writing novels, how writing helps her to explore larger questions, how her writing mentors inspired her, what she learned from the Year of the Novel course, how sending a story out into the world is like throwing a boomerang, how she opens herself to playing with ideas and language, why she no longer writes lists of rules for herself when starting to write a new book, how competitiveness gets in the way of her writing, how green rooms differ between music gigs and writers festivals, how her partner met Trent Dalton in a green room, and how sharing stories and sitting with love and family are the most important things in her life.About NardiNardi Simpson is a Yuwaalaraay woman living in Sydney.

The founder of the First Nation's music group “ Stiff Gins”, Nardi Simpson, is directing a cross cultural Choir in Sydney called Barayagal. It's a place where First Nations and non-Indigenous Australians gather to sing in the Gamilaraay and Yuwaalaraay languages. The choir is making songs inspired by culture, supported by musicians from the Sydney University Conservatorium of Music who are participating as part of their degree

Người sáng lập nhóm nhạc First Nation có tên ‘Stiff Gins', là Nardi Simpson đang chỉ đạo một dàn đồng ca đa văn hóa ở Sydney tên là Barayagal, qui tụ những người thuộc các Quốc Gia Thứ Nhất và người Úc không Bản địa, tụ tập để hát bằng các ngôn ngữ Gamilaraay và Yuwaalaraay. Họ cũng sáng tác những bài hát lấy cảm hứng từ văn hóa, được hỗ trợ bởi các nhạc sĩ từ Nhạc viện Đại học Sydney.

Nardi Simpson is a Yuwaalaraay writer and Song of the Crocodile is her debut novel. The town of Darnmoor promises itself as ‘The Gateway to Happiness'. Within the town though is a world divided. The white population live on the paved streets and brick buildings, while down the old black road, past the tip are The Campgrounds. Margaret lives out at the Campgrounds with her daughter Celie and Celie's husband Tom. The family have their lives and their love for each other but they also know that once all the lands surrounding Darnmoor were theirs.  Tom's got a mind to fix things though. He's heading to the city where there's the promise of men who'll listen. Men who might affect change. Except the people of Darnmoor aren't looking for change and they don't want the campgrounds and its residents closer to town. Song of the Crocodile is a generational tale. Across decades of the mid-twentieth century the reader travels alongside members of the Billymil family and their lives in Darnmoor. The book is a fiction about the very real stories of dispossession, oppression, often outright murder that are woven throughout the history of this country. Too often understood but rarely told. As we move through the generations, Song of the Crocodile paints a tale of resilience against incredible hardship. I don't want to say too much and reveal the story but truthfully much of this story is the stuff that we often feel cannot be spoken aloud. From the outset we learn that lives in the Campgrounds are considered cheap. Even as Tom sets out to try and find a way to improve their lives forces are mustered against him. The actions of the white townspeople; both overt and covert are heaped against The Billymil family as they are against all of the residents of the campgrounds. Despite this Song of the Crocodile shows us the endurance of The Billymil and how their connections; to each other, to their land and to their history carries them forward.  A part of this connection is the entwined lives of the family and teh ways their connection transcend their terrestrial existence. That felt like a mouthful, but I wanted to express the way that Simpson brings in elements of a broader conception of culture and spiritualism without resorting to overused terms like ‘magic-realism'. Within the novel characters interact with cosmic, creator beings and thus we see their lives and their roles in the grand narrative extended. That's not to say this is a fantasy novel, or that the book takes us into genre in any of the conventional ways.  The feeling I got as I read is that Nardi Simpson has invited us as readers to experience something of the storytelling that is intrinsic to her being. In doing so she shares an understanding of the world that includes multigenerational lineages that aren't necessarily ended upon death. It also includes an entwined relationship between land, water and sky that sees human beings a part of the greater whole and hence subject and responsible for how they treat their environment. I can't help but reflect that my thoughts here are inadequate. They don't fully capture my reading of Song of the Crocodile; the joys and rage at the turns of the family. My horror and guilt that as white Australians we are inheritors of the wrong side of these stories. Yes this is fiction but it speaks to a myriad tales that were covered up. Stories that must be heard and understood. Go check out Nardi Simpson's Song of the Crocodile

A cattle station cook in her youth, Yuwaalaraay woman Dallas McKeown followed in her mother's footsteps to become an EN — a move that would eventually lead to her current position as CRANAplus' Exec. Director of First Peoples Strategies. In this episode, she discusses how her experiences have provided motivation along the way. Observing acute illness at RDH, she decided to venture into the world of primary health care and health promotion — where she campaigned on pneumococcal, influenza and smoking, experienced overt racism, and learned that “sometimes there's nobody else but you to pick up whatever comes through the door”.

In this first episode of the Music Tas Podcast, we hear from the Tasmanian band The Brothers of Country, a band of brothers from across Tasmania, Australia, and the World. The Brothers of Country draw from aboriginal practices and connection to country as the conduit to bring diverse cultural groups into a shared, safe and creative space. Music is central to Indigenous storytelling and lore. Music has carried knowledge and truth-telling of pain and sorrow, celebration and tradition from generation to generation.The brothers say this is how it should be.These truths have been broken for Aboriginal men and women in Tasmania and across Australia recovering from colonisation. But these people, these artists are not alone. Refugee and migrant people face similar dispossession from place and loss of culture. The result is often a story of great sorrow, trauma, and ultimately a deep feeling of being unwell, of illness. The Brothers of Country use their music as a space to tell stories and find spaces for healing and truth-telling. The earthy sounds of the Tasmanian bush Elder Songman Dougie Mansell, Singer, and drummer MwaseMakalani, a Yao and Chichewa man from Malawi, Yorta Yorta and Yuwaalaraay ( pronounced yoOolaray) man Warren Mason, Tasmanian born Yorta Yorta man First Nations Producer and musician Josh Langford, Tasmanian Aboriginal pakana (pronounce Puk-a-Na) traditional dancer Harley Mansell, Walker and keeper of Stories Sean Mansell, and Adelaide born cultural magpie Matthew Fargher.We will now hear a conversation, facilitated by Matthew Farger between these brothers, these dignified men of story. This was recorded on 26th June 2021 when the brothers gathered at the Moonah Art CentreThe brothers would like to thank the Glenorchy City Council and Moonah Arts Centre for supporting this project throughout.

Literature has played a significant role in the colonial imagination and the domination of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Bundjalung author and Miles Franklin Award winner Melissa Lucashenko (Too Much Lip) and Yuwaalaraay musician and author Nardi Simpson (Song of the Crocodile) have a profound discussion on writing Country with Festival Guest Curator, Gunai/Kurnai, Gunditjmara, Wiradjuri and Yorta Yorta writer, Nayuka Gorrie. As Nayuka reflects, “The way our land and non-human kin have been written formed part of the justification for the control and brutalisation of Country. This is in stark contrast to the way Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people write of Country. No one writes Country like we do.”  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A conversation about the revival and reclamation of Indigenous languages with Gamilaroi and Anaiwon writer Cathy Craigie, Gadigal poet and educator Joel Davison, Gamilaraay author and linguist Donna McLaren, and Yuwaalaraay writer and musician Nardi Simpson. This panel is dedicated to Kerry Reed-Gilbert, Wiradjuri poet, author, and activist (1956-2019).

On 2 April 2019, Writing NSW presented Talking Writing: Indigenous Languages. The panel was chaired by Gamilaroi and Anaiwon playwright Cathy Craigie, Gamilaraay author and linguist Donna Gayford McLaren, Gunai poet and children’s book author Kirli Saunders, Darug singer and songwriter Jacinta Tobin, and Yuwaalaraay songwriter Nardi Simpson. The panel discussed the endangered status of most Indigenous languages, the idea of a reclamation language, current pushes for healthy speech communities, poetry’s role in language revival, and much more. Talking Writing is Writing NSW's regular themed writing event, designed to explore the limits of what writing is and where it can take you. Keep an eye on our website for future events.

The crew speak on the huge Invasion Day rallies around the country, and the need to #changethenation rather than simply change the date. They also reflect on the importance of community coming together at Yabun, and the powerful, joyous comeback of deadly 2000s legends Shakaya, who performed at the festival.
