I'm continually grateful for the places, spaces and people I get to encounter. I've had the privilege of visiting some pretty amazing Communities and meeting some special people. Last week I got to experience my first Garma, an amazing celebration of Yolngu Culture and connection point of many special people. My key takeaway from this experience is the modelling of cultural and political interfaces for those of us having to walk in two worlds, something Australia needs to better understand and put more support behind. Thanks for the experience Shane Noel Patrick Robert Dr Steven Munns Hayley Ashlee Fergus Eveanne and all the Garma '24 Crew
