From: Rick Eyre on Cricket

Another great yarn from Adam Burnett. How the memory of the legendary fast bowler Eddie Gilbert is being revived to introduce cricket to the kids and families of Queensland's remote Indigenous communities. https://www.cricket.com.au/news/4054092/queensland-cricket-eddie-gilbert-program-relaunch-indigenous-aboriginal-remote-communities-australia-torres-strait-foundation #cricket #NAIDOCWeek

We are excited to release the latest video from our First Nations Elders Oral History Project in time for NAIDOC Week. Following her first performance in Brisbane at the age of 17, Wilma Reading would be propelled to stardom from the 1960s to the 1980s, with the Cairns-born singer touring the world, performing with Duke Ellington, and becoming the first-ever Australian guest on the Johnny Carson Show.

Wilma was inducted into the National Indigenous Music Awards Hall of Fame in 2019 and continues to be very involved in the local music community, providing inspiration to First Nations musicians to follow their dreams. Watch the full 1 hour 15 minute interview with Wilma via our One Search catalogue -

As #NAIDOCWeek ends I'm sharing @brendanbeebee's post about Melbournian radio show Between The Bars (https://mastodon.social/@brendanbeebee/112762354464102427) as a reminder that First #Australians' battles and #oppression will continue like a chronic, debilitating #illness -- unless we rise and do what we can to effect #change.

We can, for instance, #lobby our #government to lower #Aboriginal deaths in custody, improve #Indigenous peoples' access to #healthcare and #education, and #protect #sacred sites.

Learn more about this unique skink, and the efforts to conserve it: https://ausgeo.co/tjakura 🦎

Have you heard of the Tjakuṟa? Also known as the great desert skink, this species is not only special for its beautiful sunset colours and unique family units and burrows – it is also an important Tjukurrpa (Creation) animal for many Indigenous desert communities.

The Tjakuṟa is facing a difficult battle for survival, but thankfully, Indigenous rangers across the Australian desert have joined forces with Resilient Landscapes Hub and Indigenous Desert Alliance to protect the iconic species.
