And add a rainbow ๐ŸŒˆ or two.

Our fingerlimes are in abundant and are looking great!

Yula-Punaal has a new garden with a range of native plants, flowers and fruits. We also have an influx of our native bee, helping with the pollination.

The children participated in their first First Aid workshop, which focused on the protocol for ๐Ÿsnake bites. While the kids found it entertaining, they also grasped the seriousness of the workshop, its purpose, and intent.

Cultural activities included Songlines, working with clay and ochre, making damper, fried scones, and lemon ๐ŸŒฑmyrtle cake. Our children collaborated on a project using stringy bark to create a bark canoe and added coconut palm leaves to the Gunyah using stringy bark rope.

True to the spirit of our ancestors, we were blessed with the presence of kangaroos ๐Ÿฆ˜ wallabies, their joeys, and an echidna ๐Ÿฆ” . The children were fully immersed in the program.

On the final day, our newly appointed Junior Leader, Kira, developed and delivered an impressive trivia game with dance ๐Ÿ•บ breaka in between. We are extremely proud of the leadership Kira demonstrated throughout the week. The kids showed great respect towards her. ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ

Today, Yula-Punaal supported and participated in National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Childrenโ€™s Day and Indigenous Literacy Day at the Tacoma Wetlands with Eleanor Duncan Aboriginal Services and Barang Regional Alliance.
