Book Review – The Paradise Pact by Anita Heiss

This is more than a Romance novel.

At its heart it is a comparison of indigenous issues in both Australia and Hawaii. It explores similarities and differences as three fifty-something female friends take a holiday. A trip which includes running a half marathon.

I read this book at the start of my own long vacation which included a trip around the main cities of Canada, where the same issues featured in this story came to light in the many museums we visited exploring Inuit culture – that same dispossession where people were forced to take on Western ways and to forget their native language and history.

But I’m no stranger to these issues as my husband is a beautiful Kamillaroi man. In fact, Anita’s novel made me cry at one point, but I’ll explain why later.

This novel begins with a breakup.

Abbey has recently discovered her partner has very different political views, enough to wonder if he ever really understood her. She is a successful businesswomen with kids (and grandkids), and even though there’s been a reconnection with her ex, she is still unsure he has changed. This holiday with her besties is exactly what she needs.

What follows are genuine moments of true friendship – the kind where eyes are rolled and unwarranted advice is given. And romance, of course!

But it’s the first nations’ viewpoint which really drives this narrative.

There’s a heartfelt conversation (one of many) where the friends discuss how their relatives view their success. This includes a special mention of their elders, who understand how much work it takes to succeed, knowing these girls didn’t just land on their feet. This is where I got teary.

I value my in-law elders. My own siblings aren’t close and I can recall the many times my husband’s family have been proud of my achievements, and how his sisters and a niece and nephew kept checking up on me when my health took a turn for the worst. It’s not that my own family weren’t worried, but they aren’t as comfortable instigating these conversations.

The Paradise Pact is a page turner.

And while it explores love, it’s the love between the friends which it really delves into – where their views originate from and how modern friendships are cultivated through social technology. I enjoyed every moment I spent with Abbey, Stevie and Caitlin.

Five stars.

Lorraine Namarnyilk "Sugarbag Dreaming" 51cm x 71cm on
Arches Djurra 600g.

This painting depicts a sugarbag person from country east of the Mann River. The people were living in the area when Wak, the black crow, became angry that they were stealing his country so cut them in half with a stone axe. They became mankung or sugarbag, the honey of native bees that is found in hives in tree hollows. The bees do not sting and if it can be found, mankung is delicious. The wax is used for a number of purposes including sealing the mouthpieces of didjiridus.

Groundbreaking research has identified that levels of genetic diversity among Indigenous Australians may be among the highest in the world.

First Nations people first arrived on the Australian continent more than 65,000 years ago and dispersed to every corner of the country, where both strong cultural and genetic diversity developed between groups.

I'm glad that Avi Yemini is talking about this. It's so tragic seeing these kids resort to crime & violence & horrible for the people who bear the brunt of this lack of love. Such a complicated issue 💔
I'd love to see these kids grow from their actions & make amends. They have so much potential. I pray for them to receive the guidance and love they need to turn their lives around.

Yesterday, I had the privilege and honour of attending Bunjil’s Marroun Healing Ceremony 2023. It was a moving day not just of mourning, but a day filled with hope of creating a truly inclusive future for everyone in our community and our country.
Thank you Aunty Di (Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Elder; Dianne Kerr) for you beautifully heartfelt welcome and sharing what the day means to you.
Thank you Courtney Ugle of the Noongar mob and the AFLW for sharing your deeply personal and difficult story and for being an example of what we can achieve despite adversity and continuing to seek an inclusive and equal community for all.
Thank you Nhanbu Togip for teaching us your traditional dance and including us in your customs, it was an honor to be taught by you.
Thank you David Arden for your sharing your music; music that is deeply personal and enlightening.
Finally, thank you Moonee Valley City Council for hosting the event, working tirelessly to bring healing to our Indigenous communities and being an example to aspire to.

Yesterday, I had the privilege and honour of attending Bunjil’s Marroun Healing Ceremony 2023. It was a moving day not just of mourning, but a day filled with hope of creating a truly inclusive future for everyone in our community and our country.
Thank you Aunty Di (Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Elder; Dianne Kerr) for you beautifully heartfelt welcome and sharing what the day means to you.
Thank you Courtney Ugle of the Noongar mob and the AFLW for sharing your deeply personal and difficult story and for being an example of what we can achieve despite adversity and continuing to seek an inclusive and equal community for all.
Thank you Nhanbu Togip for teaching us your traditional dance and including us in your customs, it was an honor to be taught by you.
Thank you David Arden for your sharing your music; music that is deeply personal and enlightening.
Finally, thank you Moonee Valley City Council for hosting the event, working tirelessly to bring healing to our Indigenous communities and being an example to aspire to.

It's the end of the day. The first 5 feeds for the day are done. This feel on my phone while I was doing something with Instagram.

Looking forward to the launch of this book that some colleagues and I have written as part of Croakey Health Media - https://www.croakey.org/

Such an important aspect of health for mob and such an honour to talk to amazing people in the space! #IndigenousEyeHealth #AboriginalAustralia

When a #CEO says "we can't look back, we need to look forward", it's basically an admission of #criminality. Prison?

#RioTinto blew up #Australia's archeological #heritage while pretending to care about it.
