York Maams Men’s Group – Yarning Circle Catch‑Up
🗓 Friday 29 May 2026
⏰ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
📍 York Post Office, 134 Avon Terrace, York WA 6302

Our York Maams came together again today as we continue moving forward on the Yarning Circle outdoor seating project.

The group met with Nic Compton to step into the next stage of the design, focusing on the totem animal carvings that will be woven into the final structure of the circle. These carvings will carry story, identity, and connection — shaping the cultural heart of the space.

Today was all about sharing ideas, having a yarn, and working together at our own pace. No pressure, just good conversation, creativity, and community strength.

Here are some pics from today’s session — the men are doing incredible work and the project is really taking shape.

All York Maams are always welcome — this project belongs to the whole community.

Strong Men. Strong Culture. Strong Community.

National Reconciliation Week 2026 – We’re All In
Ballardong Moorditj Program

National Reconciliation Week kicked off today, and this year’s theme — All In — calls every one of us to walk together with purpose, respect, and truth. Reconciliation is not symbolic for our community — it is lived, it is local, and it is carried through our stories, our Elders, and our shared commitment to healing.

The Ballardong Moorditj Program stands proudly with our members, families, and partners across York, Beverley, Northam and Toodyay. Our work — from yarning circles to truth‑telling, from creative workshops to community gatherings — reflects the strength and resilience of Ballardong people and the deep cultural knowledge that continues to guide us.

We also want to acknowledge Jodie Nunn, CEO of Reconciliation WA, for her ongoing support of Ballardong First, our Aboriginal‑led event held in York during the Australia Day weekend for the past three years. Her leadership and commitment have helped elevate our voices, strengthen community connection, and ensure our stories are heard with respect and integrity.

This week, we honour our Elders.
We acknowledge our ancestors.
We celebrate our culture.
And we continue building a future grounded in unity, truth, and action.

This week and every week — we’re All In.

Strong Women. Strong Men. Strong Families. Strong Culture.
