Today marks the 81st anniversary of the Cowra Breakout. My novel BARBED WIRE AND CHERRY BLOSSOMS is my contribution to telling the story of Wiradyuri people in Cowra at that time, and remembering our men who went to war too!

Before the Federal Court this week Regis Resources challenged the former environment minister's decision to protect part of its McPhillamys Gold Project from development.
Wiradyuri elders gave evidence of Dreaming stories in support of the order but their authenticity challenged. A decision to 👀.

Court told Dreaming story not withheld as 'trump card' to stop gold mine
An elders' group has told a Federal Court in Sydney that the Blue Banded Bee Dreaming story was not being kept "up its sleeve" three years after a protection bid was first made to the Commonwealth.

Every time I come home back to NZ, I am so in awe of how bilingual it’s becoming. Well, it was becoming.

Happy to say education is embracing traditional language, but it’s fits and starts.
We cannot give up.

My tour thru Wiradyuri country over the long weekend, highlighted some new places- views I’d not seen of old places.
So much exploring to do of the lands of the largest Aboriginal nation in Australia. I’ve barely scratched the surface in 4 years, here. I only get the postcolonial view.
