Camp Nunguu Opening Ceremony by Gumbaynggirr elders for protecting Newry State Forest from industrial "selective" (select all) logging. Community coming together for the collective benefit of us all, including our non human kin. It takes many people stepping into the roles they can do to make these camps happen. At the moment I'm not in a position to spend much time at camp, but I can paint banners and signs, in both languages. Very happy with how the golden kangaroo turned out. #protecttheunburnt #campnunguu #standupfornewry #coffscoast #loggingblockade #directaction #walkingtogether #gumbaynggirrland 
Success, step one. @auspost now has guidelines on including traditional place names in addresses. Follow updates from 'Create a database of traditional place names' on change.org The next step underway is to create a database of traditional place names linked to postcodes, in consultation with traditional elders. . #traditionalplacenames #letterwriting #parcel #address #alwayswasalwayswillbe #aboriginalland #acknowledgementofcountry #whoselandareyouon 
2018 commission for Mushie Bags - powered by coffee! After attending a fungi growing workshop over the weekend, it reminded me of this product label commission I did a few years ago. I don't think the business ever launched unfortunately so I haven't ever seen this on the shelves. Oh well! I am looking forward to some home grown oyster mushies of my own in about a week's time, currently growing on kitty litter of all things (paper pellets)! . #mushrooms #fungi #growyourownfood #backyardfarm #oystermushrooms #mushroomgrowing #inkandwatercolor #artcommission #artwork 
We're on! Bello Food Gardening articles and paintings are set to continue. I just received the official notice that the grant application was successful 😊 which means there will be a year's worth of weekly food gardening info and visual inspiration starting up again! Thanks to Bellingen Shire Council for the support! . . #bellingen #foodgarden #gardening #growingfood #backyardgardening #communityresilience #foodsecurity #growfoodnotlawns #growyourownfood #gardenart #gardeningtips #localknowledge

A call to push Australia Post @auspost to formally recognise traditional place names, including consulting with Elders. A partial agreement so far but they need to know the public are watching and want this. Petition update 🖤💛❤️ Go to www.change.org/traditionalplacename to sign and share ✌🏼 Reposted from @place_names_in_addresses

🌚 New moon greetings 💨 There's usually a quiet and simple inspiration for each moon greeting that arrives when I slow down and pay attention to the moments going on. Looking, nothing. Looking, nothing. Where was it? Invisibly all around me as it turned out. The seasonal spring winds of change are here, blustering through every afternoon. Stand out in the wind and feel blown clean of what you don't need, or annoyed by it's insistence at removing things. #moongreetings #newmoon #artforsale #inkandwatercolor #wind #seasonalwind #windsofchange #windy #bellingen #cleansing #natureinspiredart #pauseandreflect 
New chooks did indeed arrive. 1. Copy-paste chooks! 2. Flame chook, look at that red! Once there were six, which were slowly whittled down by old age to one. As spring arrived, so did the time to top up the flock. These are pullets, about 20 weeks old and almost ready to lay. Chooks are brutal with each other. This is probably where hen-pecked came from. They do not welcome newcomers and can peck the bottom of their pecking order to death. This includes a smaller, younger or sick chook. Community note, don't be like chickens! However, the last chook standing only gave one of the new chooks one firm peck and then they were all off scratching together. I think she appreciated the company. If she hadn't, at least the chook yard is plenty big enough for keeping a distance. #springchicken #pullets #layinghens #chooks #chickens #australorp #backyardfarm #backyardchickens #bellingen #homelaideggs
