On Saturday 9th February we were singing again. Getano brought along his new version of ‘We Can Be Strong’ and we loved it. Then out of a joke about traditional Indigenous foods came a discussion about market gardens, Italian farms, Tongan traditional cooking and simply what was good to eat.

I think we’ve still got some work to do on Fresh from the Ground our singing is still a little rough and I suspect some new words will flow but it was some creative magic happening at the Elders Centre as we created a new song. The cultural sharing was wonderful - language, stories, songs, energy and an enthusiasm for country and place.

So ‘watch this space’ this is a song that is going to grow.
