Nicole Foss on resilience and financial collapse

Hepburn Relocalisation Network and Sustainable Hepburn Association (SHARE) last night hosted Canadian speaker Nicole Foss.

Walking and weaving country

Here's a short documentation of my first day's walk through Jaara country to take a traditional Aboriginal weaving workshop and meet the founders of Bunjil Park Aboriginal Education and Cultural Centre, Jude Perry and Uncle Brien Nelson.



Here's the small basket I made at the workshop.

This is the hand-drawn map that I used on my walk.

And here's Jude and Uncle Brien extracting worm tea at Bunjil Park.
