Advice required... We are blessed with an abundance of green spaces in Melbourne but am puzzled why there is little/no acknowledgement of the original inhabitants. In 2020 we need to do better. This park is within @monashcouncil’s boundaries but have noticed their total lack of connecting these spaces to our black brothers and sisters. Any advice how to make these changes welcome. #blacklivesmatter #alwayswasalwayswillbeaboriginalland #fairwayreserve #stephensonsroad #mountwaverley #truthtelling (at Fairway Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEBw_lypRgv/?igshid=aemx1stajts2

Starting out my day letterboxing for @victoriangreens 💚 I love going for walks around our neighborhood, listening to a podcast and looking at everyone’s gardens - this is my ideal volunteer job 🤣 🌱 Shoutout out to @campbellgomegreens and everyone at @darebingreens working hard to create positive change. 🌿 The Greens plan includes: No new coal & gas and 100% renewable energy by 2030. Free education and better funding for healthcare. First Nations Justice - treaty, keeping kids safe from prison and more Indigenous voices in power. 🌿 If we look in yoga philosophy this is ahimsa in action - compassion for ourselves, each other and our environment. . . . #gardenofyoga #yogateacherlife #yogaoffthemat #climatejustice #alwayswasalwayswillbeaboriginalland #yogainaction #victoriangreens #darebingreens #turnnorthcotegreen #thereisnoplanetb (at Wurundjeri Country) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci6kcEtvd-6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Learning Bundjalung on Tharawal

~ By Evelyn Araluen

Above his desk it is written:

‘I wish I knew the names of all the birds.’

I know this room through tessellation of leaf and branch,

wurahŋ-bil and jaran-gir,

in the shade of a kulsetsi —

(Cherokee) ‘honey locust’ [a flowering tree].

I am relearning these hills and saltwaters

and all the places wrapped around this room

We both have dagahral here,

lovers/fathers/friends/conquerors/

ghosts.

But here, in this new and ancient place,

I ask him to name the song that swoops through this mosaic:

Sometimes it is wattlebird sometimes it is currawong —

when we drive, he tells me king parrot, fairy wren, black cockatoo

and I know jalwahn and bilin bilin and ngarehr

but the rest are just nunganybil,

the rest are just: ‘bird’

It is hard to unlearn a language:

to unspeak the empire,

to teach my voice to rise and fall like landscape,

a topographic intonation.

So in this place the shape of my place

I am trying to sing like hill and saltwater,

to use old words from an old country that I have never walked on:

bundjalung jagum ngai, nganduwal nyuyaya,

and god, I don’t even know

if I’m saying it right.

But I watch the bark twist:

grey and slate and vanilla and vermillion

he tells me this is ribbon gum —

so I find five words for this bark

and I promise I will learn them all

Because to hold him is to hold the tree

that holds these birds I cannot name,

and a word spoken here

might almost sound like home.

We are relearning this place through poetry:

I open my book and say, wayan,

here is a word which means road, but also root

and in it I am rooted, earthed,

singing between two lands

I learn that balun is both river and milky way,

and that he is baray-gir, the youngest child

and the top of the tree,

where the gahr will come to rest —

to call its own name

across the canopy,

long after his word for it

is gone.
