It’s been a busy week at Willum Warrain with our Bush Kids doing some sensory play and our Deadly Youth creating a special surprise for our elders. We also welcomed a new turtle into a pond after Elijah and Sarah rescued it from the road. It was lovely to have our Deadly Sista’s back after a break to celebrate the life of our sista Trish.

We had a lot of fellas turn up today for our excursion to Mushroom Reef in Flinders for a walk along the beach and a feed of fish'n' chips. It was deadly being by sea country out in the fresh air. Next Tuesday is of course the Melb. Cup so see all you fellas Tuesday 10th Nov. We are going to erect our shields at the entrance to the Men's area - another achievement to look forward too.

Yr 11/12 VM students from Juniper College visited today for a cultural immersion tour with Aunty Michelle, a BBQ, then two volunteer sessions in our Bush Nursery and grounds. See some of the students planting out on our new Koorie Plant Trail. We have schools visit most days and really enjoyed this group today - there had lots of questions about Aboriginal culture. Thanks so much for the work you did at our Gathering Place today - we really appreciate it.

Woodlands PS visited us today for a cultural tour and a range of workshops. We loved having 125 Year 4 students at our Gathering Place. The students were so interested in learning about Aboriginal culture and thoroughly enjoyed all activities. We have schools visit most days - it is important educative work promoting reconciliation. The last image is of their buses using our new bus entrance and parking area. After years of reversing into our small old carpark, now students can disembark in safety.

A team from Service Stream visited today for Cultural Awareness training with Uncle Peter and Aunty Michelle. We have a longstanding relationship with Service Stream going back five years. We supply plants for their Peninsula Link verge responsibilities - every time you drive along the freeway you pass Willum Warrain Bush Nursery lomandra! This ongoing annual order has been critical to the growth and viability of our Nursery, certainly in the early years. Thanks to all our corporate and agency partners for procuring plants from our social enterprise, creating employment for mob and supporting our Aboriginal community.

Our Bush Kids made the most of their day in the sun at our beautiful Gathering Place. Treasures to be found, gum leaves to draw on, birthday cupcakes to eat, Aunty Ange and Sarah holding the baby and lots of deadly fun had by all.

It is with great sadness that our beautiful Trish passed away on Saturday 17th October after a long, brave and inspirational fight against cancer. Trish was a beloved member of our Women’s and Deadly Youth groups. Our hearts to go out to Tim, who is a valued member of our men’s group and their gorgeous family. Forever in our hearts.
Permission given by the family.
