Our Movember Move Event went well thanks to our Men getting stuck into the yard for Uncle Thomas!
He was so thankful for our help, if zoom in you’ll see the little fella had some space to be able to play in the yard.

We still need help fundraising to book in a couple more Lawn Maintenance operators to help keep his yard down for the next couple months.
Building each other up! Men supporting Men!

would be proud an inspiration to do this event! .au

🌊 Walking in Culture 🌊

Today, young Indigenous men took part in a powerful cultural experience along the beach shore, collecting kulup seeds, an important part of their heritage.

As they gathered seeds, Elders shared stories, connecting the practice to traditional songs and dances. The sound of the waves blended with clapsticks and singing, as the young men learned kulup cultural dances, music and the meaning behind each movement.

This experience was more than learning traditions, it was about strengthening identity, pride and connection to Country.

🌿 Cultural Learning in Action 🌿

Today, a group of young school-aged men took part in an incredible cultural experience, making a traditional spear from scratch, guided by Aboriginal Elders and cultural mentors.

✅ They learned how to select the right wood, shape the spear, and sharpen the tip using traditional techniques.
✅ They gained hands-on experience with cultural tools and practices.
✅ They discovered the historical and cultural significance of the spear in

Aboriginal communities, how it was used for hunting, survival, protection, and ceremony.

A big thank you to our brother Brian Murgha for helping facilitate this session your knowledge and guidance is much appreciated.

This experience wasn’t just about making a spear, it was about connecting to culture, land and identity, building pride in learning traditional skills passed down through generations.

Healing on Country, Not Just Behind Bars

Too many of our young men are being locked away, but prison isn’t the only path. True healing starts on Country, where culture, connection and community guide the way forward.

Programs like the one on Groote Eylandt show us what’s possible: men learning, growing and finding strength through culture instead of cycles of incarceration. When we invest in healing, we invest in our future.

Let’s stand together for solutions that keep our men strong, proud and connected.

🌟 From Boys to Men to Warriors 🌟

Today, young men from Gordonvale State High School took part in an inspiring workshop focused on personal growth and future goals.

💬 The group explored the concept of “Anchors” those things that weigh us down in life and each participant identified their own.

✨ They also went on a “Pearl Dive for Your Dreams”, writing down their life goals and aspirations.

It was an empowering session about self-reflection, resilience, and dreaming big! 💪

Special thanks to the author sister Simone Stacey for letting us use her books with our young men.
