“The Lurujarri Dreaming Trail – Living Country”.  

Exhibition by Jeanné Browne

 

Synergy Gallery, 253 High St., Northcote, Melbourne, next to the Wesleyan Church

 

“This exhibit celebrates the Lurujarri Heritage Trail established in 1987 by Goolarabooloo traditional custodian, Paddy Roe O.A.M., upon a section of the Northern Tradition Song Cycle along the North Western Kimberley coast, as a cross-cultural bridge, and to help look after that country.

 

“Since 1992, focus has been consumed by time spent with the Goolarabooloo community of Broome, whose land knowledge and relationship remains dynamic and alive.  My visual diaries and artwork reflect something of my cultural immersion, with particular interest in the local reading of the country and its six-seasonality.

 

“This is big, old, strong country, with a mob who are bent on looking after it. We would welcome your support.”

 

Gallery hours are Wed – Sun., 11-4pm. Ph. 9481 1751.

Our Generation is a powerful and upfront documentary on the Australian Aboriginal struggle for their land, culture and freedom – a story that has been silenced by the Australian Government and mainstream media. Driven by the remote Yolngu of Northeast Arnhem Land, one of the last strongholds of traditional Aboriginal culture in Australia, as well as the voices of national indigenous leaders, historians and human rights activists, the film explores the ongoing clash of cultures that is threatening to wipe out the oldest continuing culture in the world. With music by John Butler Trio, Yothu Yindi, Xavier Rudd, Gurrumul, Archie Roach, Goanna, Saltwater Band and more.

On the night various community and campaign groups will provide information and inspiration, including Concerned Australians, ANTAR, Save the Kimberley and Walmadan Country is Calling. Money raised by film ticket sales will go to community projects in Arnhem Land and Kimberley campaigners.

Melbourne – Aug 14th, Kimberley rally, State Library, 12pm

The KEEP THE KIMBERLEY public rally will be held in response to Woodside’s liquefied natural gas hub proposed for James Price Point (Walmadan) near Broome. Rally goers strongly oppose this development and are calling on federal politicians to stop the project going ahead.

Featured on the day will be live performances from some of Australia’s finest musicians – Dan Sultan, Shane Howard, Liz Stringer and Tanya Ransom. Guest speakers will include Goolarabooloo – Jabirr Jabirr Traditional Owner Neil McKenzie, Glen Klatovsky (The Wilderness Society), Kevin Blatchford (Save The Kimberley) and Martin Pritchard (Environs Kimberley).

“The Kimberley is one of the world’s last remaining wilderness areas. Australians from all walks of life appreciate and feel a connection with its sweeping landscapes, magnificent coastlines and wild rivers, its vast numbers of plant, marine and wildlife species. The Kimberley is rich in indigenous culture and possesses a unique social, environmental and historical quality that forms the fabric of our rare Australian identity,” Kevin Blatchford said.

“The LNG gas hub would destroy this as it is the thin edge of the wedge and unless we act now to protect this pristine region, it will end up being devastated like the Pilbara,” said Mr Blatchford.

The event will form part of a broader campaign coinciding with rallies in Byron Bay, Perth and Denmark (Western Australia) to raise awareness about the proposed LNG hub. Media Release FINAL-1
