Desert Pea Media is very proud to announce a new collaboration with the Yaegl community in Maclean/Yamba, in the Lower Clarence Valley of the North Coast of NSW.

This production was created over 7 days in December 2019 - an outcome of of a unique, collaborative creative process with Desert Pea Media artists, local Original Nations young people, community members, Elders, High School staff and local services.

The overall purpose of the project was to facilitate an important, inter-generational conversation about social and emotional well-being for Original Nations young people in 8 communities around the North Coast. The project is called 'Break It Down - Community Conversations Around Well-being' - funded by North Coast Primary Health Network.

Desert Pea Media projects involve a dialogue-based storytelling process that encourages participants to analyse 'the real', 'the ideal' and 'the bridge'. In simple terms this means critically thinking about how to create positive change for yourself, for each other and for our communities :)

The connections created during this project with the community and local young people are friendships that the DPM team highly value and respect. We as a team feel deeply honored to learn, share and create with the Yaegl community. These projects not only uplift and inspire audiences and community members, but everybody involved.

'Being, On Country' was directed and shot by filmmaker Mitch O'Hearn and edited by Roy Weiland. We thank you both for your artistic vision and awesome work.

Special thanks to Uncle Ron Heron and Shane Eamons, staff at Maclean High School and all of the Yaegl Elders and community members for having us on country, and making us feel so welcome.

A DPM special documentary by Mitch O'Hearn that follows a new and innovative project series with First Nations young people in Western NSW - 'Break It Down - Community Conversations Around Mental Health'.

This project uses the process of creating hip hop/reggae/dub/trap music and music video production to engage communities in an important, inter-generation conversation around wellbeing and mental health.

This film is a rare insight into our work and process, and follows engagements across six communities - Orange, Bathurst, Cowra, Condobolin, Wellington and Walgett.

In this video we will be shown how to warm up our voice for performance and practise. When we sing, we use our breath, mouth and our vocal cords in different ways to when we talk or yell or sigh. It can put more strain on our vocal cords and we can end up with a sore throat. This is why it’s important to warm our voices up properly at the start of a singing workshop or before performing. It’s just like a football or softball player needs to stretch their arms, legs and bodies and do other warm up exercises before a practice or a game. If we don’t warm up properly, we can end up doing long term damage to our vocal cords and wreck our voices, or we simply won’t sound as good as we could.

In the Pilbara, people are preparing for the annual Rowan’s Walk from Port Hedland to South Hedland to encourage people with mental health issues to open up and seek help.

His mother Ravena Maher said Rowan’s intention is to remind people that their lives are precious and worth fighting for.

“Only you know what you're going through, so it's only you that can reach out nice for that help,” Ms Maher said.

“[Rowan’s] trying to let people know that it's okay not to be okay. And that yes, today is tough, but it's hope that will bring better days.”

This year’s walk will be on October 8, and everyone is welcome to join Rowan on his walk from 6am at Red Bank Salt Ridge.

For the first time, it will be followed by a basketball tournament and teams of all ages are invited to participate.

Basketball teams wanting to play may contact patricia@YIC.com.au

The Midwest Aboriginal Ranger Program is providing opportunities for Aboriginal people across the Mid West region to engage in Natural Resource Management (NRM) activities while delivering on-ground conservation with a strong cultural emphasis on Caring for Country.

It is a partnership between the Northern Agricultural Catchments Council, Western Mulga, Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA), Central Regional TAFE and Geraldton Streetwork Aboriginal Corporation (GSAC).

In the Pilbara, people are preparing for the annual Rowan’s Walk from Port Hedland to South Hedland to encourage people with mental health issues to open up and seek help.

It was started by a teenage boy, who is now 20, after a family tragedy.

His mother Ravena Maher said Rowan’s intention is to remind people that their lives are precious and worth fighting for.

“Only you know what you're going through, so it's only you that can reach out nice for that help,” Ms Maher said.

“[Rowan’s] trying to let people know that it's okay not to be okay. And that yes, today is tough, but it's hope that will bring better days.”

This year’s walk will be on October 8, and everyone is welcome to join Rowan on his walk from 6am at Red Bank Salt Ridge.

For the first time, it will be followed by a basketball tournament and teams of all ages are invited to participate.

Basketball teams wanting to play may contact patricia@YIC.com.au

On today's episode we go boat fishing into Dampier Creek and catch a few fish to make a sashimi. We also provide an update on Koba and Mrs Koba (our saltwater crocodiles) and we cook up some lamb ribs for dinner.

Today we join Jaden and his family on an on-country tag-along tour up past James Prices Point, the pristine beaches around Coulomb Point Nature Reserve and into some resting pools and mangrove streams in a hidden creek behind a dry marsh plain..

It was a powerful trip to Alice Springs and I can't wait to come back to Alice Springs again!

We felt very welcomed; alot of smiles, handshakes and respect for me and the Karajarri group of men that came all the way over for a very important project!

Here's a short video I made as a brief tribute during our short bit of free time yesterday:

FREE COFFEES AT ANNEES AT STOCKLAND, ROCKHAMPTON UNTIL 11am today the 6th of September, 2024!!!
Less than an hour as I post this!
Bro goooooood coffee!!! Very flavourful type of coffee I really like it!!! The Annees Coconut w/condensed milk is supreme ?‍??‍??‍?
11/10 they are deadly ?

My first rib roast back in 2021, back when we had those deadly views too ?

$10 Challenge - feed 3 people, so I made Mi Goreng Chicken Noodle Soup! ?
This worked out to make quite a decent feed and realistically have easily fed 4 people even up to 5! So for $9.5 of ingredients to buy it works out to be $2.38/per person for 4 people or $1.90 for 5 people.
**Rice wasn’t on the docket but it’s realistic that you might have some in the cupboard so it’s ok to include that if you need too!**
**Fresh herbs from the garden were obviously not on the docket but that’s the benefit of growing your own ingredients, so start growing your own to use in cooking it’s easy to do!**
Anyway this was fun to create, it tasted really good, it’s affordable and you and your family will have full belly’s and a good nights sleep. That’s what we want!
Thanks for watching, hope you try it and I’ll be on to the next $10 Challenge! ?

This big slab was from Parkhurst Quality Meats ?
I’ll have to do some more steak cook ups real soon!

Why I don’t cook with exact measurements for ingredients - just throw it in ?❤️

The big pot cook ups at Mungalla Station, Australia!
Uncle Jake got me up there to cook for the mob over that weekend and they asked for a good feed! So I knocked up a big slow cooked beef & redwine stew and pork belly vermicelli! Safe to say it all got lifted and there was next to no leftovers ?
This was a deadly experience to cook up in bulk like that and I’m keen as to do more like this! ?
Recipe info ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Beef & Redwine:
- diced beef
- garlic
- onion
- bacon
- mushrooms
- carrot

Too deadly! ?

I tried the Barra Burger at Daly Waters Highway Inn servo in the NT and it was unreal! ??
Lovely grilled Barra fillet, a secret spicey tartare sauce and good chips!!! Top shelf stuff ???
Worth the stop if you’re travelling through Daly Waters!
Too deadly! ?

Baking an artisan style loaf of bread ??
This is my second ever loaf! It was so good the first time and now this is how I made it so you can make it too.
From what I’ve learnt and taught myself is that the longer you let the dough ferment/proof like overnight in the fridge the better the flavour and bread characteristics develop? Bakers can you chime in?
But yeah there you go have a crack that is a 2-2.5hr total cook time from start to finish ?
I’m in love with baking! Keen to learn more and share the journey! Enjoy ???

A good dry season full of amazing produce and spectacular views of our countryside ?????

'In A Box' is a short film created by the DPM Creative Team back in 2018, in collaboration with Wiradjuri community member and hip-hop artist from Forbes NSW, Marley Carr.

This film is an outcome of a 10-day Desert Pea Media storytelling workshop. Co-written by Marley Carr, and starring Marley Carr and Kirra Nean.

This story, alongside a song/music video production came from a group of community members, Elders and young people, who came together as part of an important, facilitated conversation about mental health, suicide and social & emotional wellbeing for local young people.

Part of an ongoing DPM project series called ‘Break It Down – Conversations around Mental Health’ funded by Western NSW Primary Health Network. The program looks to create awareness and conversation around wellbeing – breaking down stigmas and connecting community with local health services.

Desert Pea Media projects involve a dialogue-based storytelling process that encourages participants to analyse 'the real', 'the ideal' and 'the bridge'. In simple terms this means critically thinking about how to create positive change for yourself, for each other and for our communities.

This project featured the musical direction and production of DPM producer Josh Nicholas (aka Hazy).

Special thanks to Project Managers Kaye Mulligan from Yoorana Gunya also a huge thanks to Barry Merrit, Aunty Aileen Allen, Kirra Nean and Marley Carr and all the community members for making us feel welcome, sharing your stories and teaching us about your country and community.

On Febuary 19th 2015, the widijtih (TC Lam) crossed the east coast of Arnhem Land. Ranger Otto Campion (Rembarrnga) in Ramingining, watches as the meteorological forces of the cyclone and Aboriginal totems rise in action. Otto explains through his extensive knowledge that when caring for country is under threat, land, dreaming and lore work as one to reclaim country and restore the balance.

Yugul Mangi Women Rangers share how they care for country, culture and community.

Follow Ranger Ebonee, a proud Wadawurrung woman, through Wurdi Youang/You Yangs Regional Park as she describes the importance of connecting to and caring for Country.

You Yangs Regional Park is part of an Aboriginal cultural landscape in the traditional Country of the Wadawurrung People. Parks Victoria respects the deep and continuing connection that Wadawurrung Traditional Owners have to these lands and waters, and we recognise their ongoing role in caring for Country.

The Aboriginal Ranger Program is an exciting new initiative that will develop the skills and provide experience for the participants while increasing the inclusion of traditional land management practices in on-ground projects and programs across NSW.

In July 2022, the program reached a major milestone with trainee rangers and supporting staff coming together for an on-Country induction camp prior to commencing work in the regions.

One of WA’s most treasured natural areas is set to receive further protection with another 183,000 hectares of land now added to the conservation estate at Shark Bay.

New and existing reserves - from Monkey Mia Conservation Estate to the heritage-rich Dirk Hartog Island National Park - will now be managed by Malgana Traditional Owners, alongside Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA).

The joint management agreement also paves the way for new jobs enabling Malgana people to work on country protecting the region’s rich biodiversity for generations to come.

The new reserve creation is part of the State Government’s Plan for our Parks initiative, which is adding five million hectares to the conservation estate in WA.

This track was written, recorded and filmed as part of a mentoring process with Toby Finlayson and Matthew Priestley from Desert Pea media and a young man from Boggabilla, NSW - Leon McGrady.

The project is called 'Step By Step' is an innovative new cultural media program that looks at empowering young people to record, learn and transform local stories into contemporary popular culture forms such as hip-hop, film productions and performance.

'Step By Step' is a way of educating, raising awareness and re-engaging young people and communities with community, culture and country. Naamba boorendooo...

Desert Pea Media projects involve a dialogue-based storytelling process that encourages participants to analyze 'the real', 'the ideal' and 'the bridge'. In simple terms this means critically thinking about how to create positive change for yourself, for each other and for our communities.

Special thanks to Ceharnie Martin, Aunty Jennie Rosser, Julie Powick and Corrinna Dahlstrom from ETC for all of your hard work and support to make this project possible.

Special thanks to all the TO's of Coffs Harbour - The Gumbaynggirr People, and all of the mob in the region that participated, welcomed us and shared their time, their stories and their country for the creation of this production. We are humbled and grateful for your trust and friendship.

During 2020/21 - independent researcher Natalie Moxham from Leanganook Yarn conducted an Evaluation Process of Desert Pea Media's 'Break It Down - Community Conversations Around Mental Health' Project in North Coast NSW, in partnership with Healthy North Coast.

LYRICS

Dhinawan yuluwirri – from the beginning
Like a whisper in the wind singin’ the spirits are with me
Yarran-dhu mirri-dha, diamond in the rough
It’s Moree madness, living life in the cut

Rumpers at night
going live on the mic
Like a spark to a flame
When the timing is right

Yaama. Welcome to the black soil plains
Where the mob self-medicate to hide from the pain
Where the war with cops is just a part of the game
Shout outs to Buddy G – put respect on his name.
Don’t forget it

We got these traumas
We’ve been trying to heal this pain
They tried to break us
They can never take away this flame

The system trying to cage us
Put our mob back in these chains
Them old spirits angered
Look to the stars and you will see

Moree madness, getting ready to go.
When I speak my truth I got that sunshine glow
From the bush to the beach where my songlines flow
Gomeroi, Dunghutti – if you know then you know

My daddy said this world ain’t made for me
No matter what I do how I dress how I speak
But no matter what they think, what they hear, what they see
I am this country and this country is me

Me and my M.O.B
Shout outs to Moree
Got dat black history
Top Camp to Birrawee

Wear the black on my back where my backpack be
Once I land my degree – nah ya ain’t stopping me (nah)

Coz my people survived
Kept my stories alive
It’s where I get my pride
Straight outta Terry Hie Hie

Got the spirit inside
I got that black soil pride
Put ya hands in the sky
If you from Terry Hie Hie

We got these traumas
We’ve been trying to heal this pain
They tried to break us
They can never take away this flame

The system trying to cage us
Put our mob back in these chains
Them old spirits angered
Look to the stars and you will see

Cooking Shark for the first time in a curry with the boys out fishing ?
Context: we couldn’t reach our camp spot due to a low tide so we stayed on the pier and fished for a few hours. We used spears to catch bait and then caught fish & shark, made a curry with the shark with some ingredients we had on the boat and of course a big laugh with the boys. I think we were just overtired and hungry

The many First Nation languages of WA need to be enshrined and protected under State legislation to ensure their continuation into the future.

Today, Monday 8 July 2024, a campaign commenced to bring the need for WA First Nations language legislation to the attention of the WA Premier, State Members of Parliament, and policy makers.


A call for the WA Aboriginal Languages Legislation Alliance (WAALLA) comes from the 2023 Aboriginal languages conference held in Kalgoorlie by the Goldfields Aboriginal Language Centre (GALCAC). First Nations language speakers, workers and linguists at the conference called on the WA State Government to enact protective legislation similar to the legislation created in NSW, the Aboriginal Languages Act 2017.


Since European colonisation, WA’s First Nations languages have remained unrecognised and unsupported through State policy or legislation. This has led to the extinction of some of the State’s 85 languages, with many more being severely threatened unless systemic support and critical policy and legislation is enacted.


Language is identity, the mouth of culture, and the carrier of culture. To lose a language is like burning down a library; all that information and knowledge is gone forever. The First Nations languages of WA carry tens of thousands of years of knowledge and information about WA. They are State treasures.


Yawuru Elder, Professor Peter Yu, called for State legislation stating, ‘Language was, and always will be, about politics and power. Preserving language sustains the integrity of our native title rights and interests.’


The call for WA State Aboriginal language legislation includes the need for recognition of the First Nations languages as official languages of the State, the establishment of a WA Aboriginal languages trust, and the development of a State 10-year Aboriginal languages strategic plan.


WAALLA is a grassroots-led campaign which directly addresses Closing the Gap (CTG) priority reforms. The National Agreement on CTG states that the reforms, ‘…focus on measuring the way governments work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’.

The WAALLA Campaign is a clear voice to governments to work with WA’s First Nations language communities on State legislation.

Organisations are being urged to join the WAALLA campaign and call on the State Government for Aboriginal languages legislation.


For further information contact the WAALLA campaign managers Goldfields Aboriginal Language Centre (08)9021 3788 or waalla@wangka.com.au
or check out the website www.wangka.com.au/waalla

Kiwirrkurra 40th Anniversary Mens Dance

Merne Mwerre is a celebration of keeping tyerrtye (body) and utnenge (spirit) strong by eating good food and connecting to Apmere (Country).

Merne Mwerre, translating to ‘Good Food’ in English, was filmed in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) at Olive Pink Botanical Gardens with a number of incredibly talented First Nations local community members including Edmond Doolan, Jarrel Williams, Monisha Martin Turner and Carol Turner. The music video portrays two First Nations children learning the power that comes from merne mwerre and how bush tucker can be found on Country.

Merne Mwerre was written and sung by first-time songwriter Edmond Doolan, an Arrernte man from Anapipe (Sandy Bore) north of Alice Springs and Arrernte leader for Children’s Ground's Men’s and Youth team. The song is sung in both Eastern/Central Arrernte and English. 

Merne Mwerre is taken from the Arrernte language children’s album Ampe-mape Alyelheme (Kid’s Sing (https://open.spotify.com/artist/7H4Ki..., released in 2023. Ampe-mape Alyelheme (Kid’s Sing) was an undertaking by Children’s Ground to remedy the lack of children's music available in Arrernte language. Active since 2021, the Children’s Ground music project has been supported by contributions from founding member of The Cat Empire Harry Angus, Tinpan Orange’s Emily Lubitz and artists, families and educators local to Central Australia.

The music video was produced in collaboration with, and support from, Lemon Tree Media and Productions, Bill Raby Diabetes Fellowship, Australian Government Indigenous Language and Arts Program and ABC Kids.

Health and Wellbeing is one of the five key service platforms delivered by Children’s Ground in First Nations communities. This includes health promotion and prevention, nutrition, environmental health and support to access clinical health services, social and emotional wellbeing and traditional healing. The Health and Wellbeing platform aims to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for children, their families, and the broader community.

The Local Land Services Aboriginal Ranger Program was launched in July 2022 and is being delivered across the Central West, Murray, Riverina and North West Local Land Services regions.

The program will run for a period of 18 months giving participants access to complete Certificate 3 in Conservation Land Management and Ecosystem which will be delivered by Tocal.

Recently the Aboriginal Ranger Program conducted a cultural burn on Rocky Water Hole Travelling Stock Reserve near Tamworth as part of the Aboriginal Rangers Cert 3 training.

This video gives you an overview of the cultural burning training and describes what it means to the Local Land Services Aboriginal Rangers.

Filmed by Mr Mckenzie and EVTV. Back then cameras were really expensive and Anangu could only afford low quality formats with technical issues. This didn't stop them from recording this famous ceremony.

Reggae from Central Australia has a unique sound with a mix of ska, country and reggae. Band members live in remote Central Australian communities where there is poor access to the internet, making marketing difficult. This video encourages bands to get their material up there so we can all enjoy their amazing music, and they can get booked for gigs at festivals across the country.

Revival of the Black Footed Rock Wallaby on the APY Lands SA in 2006.

"Punu" (wood/artefacts) plays a critical role in the lives of Anangu (people) in Central Australia. Situated at the base of Uluru in the Northern Territory, Maruku Arts represents, supports and nurtures Punu makers from the Anangu Pitantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands in South Australia, the Ngaanyatjarra Lands in Western Australia as well as communities in the Northern Territory.

Punu is a key source of survival in this new world and Anangu from across Central Australia are ecstatic when the Punu Man arrives to buy beautiful pieces for the gallery at Uluru and world wide distribution. The Manager of Maruku Arts Clive Scollay gives an overview of the organisation and it's history.

Central Desert Reggae plays a huge role in making peoples lives that bit better and has become a recognised music genre with a unique quality. This music is a real treat for those who are addicted to dancing.

In the 1980’s and 90’s, using VHS cameras Anangu (people from the APY Lands) recorded their ceremonies on video so that they could educate the children of the future. In those days communities only had the ABC. In 1987 The Federal Government (in response to the launch of the Australian satellite Aussat) introduced the Broadcasting for Remote Aboriginal Communities Scheme (BRACS). Aboriginal and Torres Islander people were concerned about the impact of the satellite and requested resources that would allow them to broadcast culturally appropriate videos.

The concept was to give Aboriginal and Islander people, access to and control of their own media at a community level. Due to limited funding, basic domestic analog audio and video equipment was used. Each installation comprised a cabinet to house a cassette recorder, radio tuner, microphone, speakers, switch panel, two VHS VCRs, television set, video camera, two UHF television transmitters, FM transmitter, satellite dish and two decoders. When the program finished towards the end of 1991, Telstra had installed 80 BRACS units across Australia all operating using an analog signal. The cost of delivery was high as all 80 units paid annual fees and upgrades (funded).

This short documentary, produced by Warlpiri man Josef Jakamarra Egger, captured the Working together for better drinking water in the bush forum collaboratively delivered in partnership with the Australian Government through the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW), Goyder Institute for Water Research and Desert Knowledge Australia (DKA). The forum brought together diverse participants from across South Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia, including Aboriginal community representatives, land councils, utilities, health regulators, service providers and national, state and territory, and local government agencies.

The forum outcomes were also documented in a report and is a culmination of the collaborative efforts and insights shared at the forum, which identified twelve pivotal actions critical to advancing the provision of safe and reliable drinking water in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
