Mick Laurie and I finding our way back to country through music, walk & talk. A traditional method overlooked but something we all do at times to reconnect. Hopefully more of these clips we can create and collaborate with community & culture #music #culture #aboriginal #nature

The #dreamteam at #KempseyHS designing and starting to create the school’s new #CulturalLearningSpace under the guidance of Mick from Sydney Travel #YouthCommunityGreening 🌱💚🌳

Creating some cultural memories with little ones at Berkeley Vale Pre School. Adding their fingerprints to the community library. Looks better with a bit of colour.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that we have multiple Micks in #youthCommunityGreening but our one Mick is certainly spreading the garden love 💚 here at Wingham & Taree high schools helping students create cultural learning spaces 🌱

The staff & students at #NaroomaHS involved in creating this #community nursery & garden are doing such an amazing job - teamwork makes the dream work & it’s been such a joy for us at Sydney Travel to be involved #communitygreening

Community Greening Team taking on some challenges that we may face when driving in the city and rural or remote roads. Learning more on drivers seat and hand to steering wheel positioning, body posture, tyre pressure and much more. Full Film: vimeo.com/798639491

The excitement is overwhelming and can’t wait to perform with Leon Ruri and 80 other Brothers & Sisters. Celebrating Diversity, Love and ourselves. As an ally who has family, friends and work colleagues from the Rainbow Community. I will be dressing traditional with #hakaforlife

What a delight for Mick & I to revisit Macquarie Fields High School join #FirstNations students & staff Justin Perrett planning a cultural learning space for the school #AboriginalStudies students putting learning into practice #culture #bushtucker #outdoored #youthcommunitygreening 🖤💛❤️

❤️IDEAS❤️. What plant/Ingredient would you use & what meal would you make? Poets Corner, Redfern Community Garden. Planting all this food is giving us ideas on what meals we can make.

Playing Yidiki #Didgeridoo in Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras with Leon Ruri from Haka For Life alongside Dharug and Indigenous dancers was a massive highlight for me. Sharing our music, culture and support to thousands of people with suicide prevention, mental health. City of Sydney BGANZ
