Something’s happening at Aboriginal Bush Traders this November. Injalak Arts Gunbalanya is in store with weaving, fabrics, works on paper and pandanus jewellery. Come in, have a yarn and buy from a community-owned art centre that has been run by the Kunwinjku people since 1989. They’re only here for November, so don’t miss it.

Last week we welcomed Julalikari Council Aboriginal Corporation CEO Lachlan Wilkins and his colleagues Tracey Munckton and Margaret Bowman to Darwin.

Over three days, the Julalikari team saw the work happening across the Ironbark Group: RapidClean NT, Ironbark Services NT, Aboriginal Bush Traders, and our Workforce Australia and Remote Australia Employment Services programs. Site visits meant Lachie and the team could meet our staff on the ground and see first-hand how our services are delivered.

It was a chance to get to know each other's values and goals, and to start talking about where we might work together in future.

At Ironbark, we believe Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations are stronger when we back each other. That means sharing what we know, being open about our challenges as well as our wins, and looking at how we can help build each other's capability.

Thank you to Lachie, Tracey and Margaret for making the trip. We look forward to continuing to support Julalikari and seeing them thrive in Tennant Creek.

Injalak Arts Gunbalanya is in town. 🎨

Seeing Injalak Arts usually means more than three hours on the road, a crossing of the East Alligator River, and getting there before the wet closes the road. For the next month, it’s a walk down Smith Street Mall.

For the next month, Aboriginal Bush Traders is hosting Injalak Arts from Gunbalanya.

Injalak is an Aboriginal-owned art centre for Kunwinjku artists of West Arnhem Land, named after the Injalak Hill rock art site. Come in for bark paintings, pandanus weaving, hand screen-printed fabric, jewellery and books.

Buying through a community art centre supports the artists and their community directly. Come in, take your time, and say hello.

📍 Aboriginal Bush Traders, Shop 4-5, Smith Street Mall, Darwin, NT, 0800.

🕘 Monday to Friday, 9am - 3pm | Saturday, 10am - 2pm

We appreciate the Chamber of Commerce Northern Territory's kind words about RapidClean NT, one of Ironbark’s commercial enterprises. Every purchase from RapidClean NT supports a 100% Indigenous-owned business, and that revenue goes back into the community, employment and economic services we deliver across the Darwin Daly region. Thanks to the Chamber and everyone who came along.

Today we came together to celebrate Charlie Sharples as he begins his next chapter as CEO of CAAPS Aboriginal Corporation. 💛

Charlie joined Ironbark in 2022, starting on the tools as part of our grounds team. From there, he progressed to Business Manager of RapidClean NT before taking on the role of Operations Manager across Ironbark's commercial service, including Ironbark Services NT.

Board members Regina Bennett and Halpin Hart joined us at this morning's farewell, sharing their experiences of working alongside Charlie over the years.

While Charlie's time at Ironbark has come to an end, he's not going far! CAAPS is just around the corner, and we look forward to staying connected as we continue working towards better outcomes for Aboriginal people and communities.

Thank you for everything, Charlie. Congratulations on this next chapter. We wish you every success!
