Happy NAIDOC week! This year’s theme is Heal Country. Healing Country is all about understanding, appreciating and respecting the lands we live on and the responsibilities of traditional custodianship. It is about reflecting on what was taken and what must be done to set things right.
There are plenty non-Indigenous allies can do to help First Nations people heal like supporting First Nations owned businesses, donating to Indigenous funds and charities, and educating yourself about First Nations peoples.

The perfect Melbourne itinerary for families 09 June 2021 . BY Leigh-Ann Pow
From quirky neighbourhoods to iconic sporting venues to graffiti-daubed laneways, the Victorian capital is a riot of activity and colour worthy of a city considered by many to be one of the best in the world.
Day one
Morning
Any exploration of Melbourne really needs to start in the heart of the city, which is considered by many as one of the most liveable in the world. The best way to get your bearings for further exploration is by jumping on a tram, which is actually free to ride within an inner-city grid. While the modern trams are all sleek and air-conditioned, the vintage trams on the circle line around the city are a little more evocative (and also free).
This artistic drawing is crap. It s obviously NOT TO SCALE in regard to the space available, to the traffic running through the place and totally bizoidly kaput in regard to the colours. Sure the artist is Japanese and he will pen down (electronically) something that is pastel, tasteless and shadeless. SYDNEY IS A COLOURFUL CITY with LOTS OF SHADOWS. See image at top. Throw this idea OUT.
OUT!. Aus! AUS!
Illustration at top from Gus Leonisky. Use it to debunk that horrible project. and to expose the dorks, the philistines and the idiots who give themselves titles to run the place I mean the Town Hall and the NSW government that pissed on all the Council of the Sydney villages, in order to get a 1950s solution to the City s transport problems. Yes! go ahead Alan (Jones) use the drawing at top on all your shows around town to throw this idea out..
