Very special to have spent a windy few days over on Flinders Island. I was there working with Aboriginal land council in their efforts with Truth telling at wybalenna - a very significant site for all Tasmanian Aboriginal people and a place with a story that everyone should know

“I was fortunate enough to do the Kunanyi walking tour today and wanted to thank our host/leader Nunami for an amazing morning of walking at one with nature, connecting us to the Palawa traditional owners and their connection to Kunanyi and the land. Nunami even brought some of her amazing indigenous plant tea and biscuits, a lovely touch on a rainy, misty cold day. This was a special walk 😊” - Anjela

On Saturday we got to deliver delivered the new Kunanyi connection tour to a lovely little group of both locals and visitors.

The mountain was magical and misty and we had a really connective and special experience.

Thanks to all the guests for coming, looking forward to sharing more kind feedback.

Bookings for our new Kunanyi tour are up on the Blak Ledge Tours website now

Tomorrow night! I’m honoured and excited to be able to launch the wonderful new graphic novel created by my friend . It is a really beautiful piece of work that all will enjoy. I am looking forward to seeing the exhibition of the works and performance to go along with tomorrow night. Come check it out 6pm (swipe for details). It fits in perfectly before the NAIDOC ball so feel free to join me in a gown.

Was very excited to do this. Interview about the artwork at piyura kitina and bedlam walls.

Artist Numami Sculthorpe-Green explains how her artwork Country Calling allows the landscape to call to itself.

Did you see Nunami from Blak Led Tours on ‘stuff the British stole’ on ABC on Monday?
This episode is about Mithina and her doll features several members of the palawa community on screen and behind the camera too. Great to see our community getting to tell our own history and stories.

If you missed when it aired you can still catch it on ABC’s iview online

Happy NAIDOC week!!!! 🖤💛❤️ Great start to the week with the flag raising at piyura kitina and across Lutruwita yesterday. This year’s NAIDOC speech highlighted the need to protect our land rights from the government’s proposed changes to the Aboriginal lands act. Hope to see just as many at our street march this Friday. Follow the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre for more information. 🔥🔥

We may be taking a break this month, but that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck for Aboriginal experiences this winter.

Why not go down to the Winter Feast and visit Palawa kipli (the Tasmanian Aboriginal catering company). They have a great crew of young palawa people who will be cooking a storm every night of the feast.
I recommend trying their delicious yula/mutton birds.

Had a tour on Friday made extra special by the most fantastic change in the city. After doing the takara nipaluna tour for almost three years now this was the first time ever that I got to tell the story of William Lanney and the Crowther statue with a happy ending. So glad to see it gone! 🖤💛❤️
