January 26th has a special place in Australia as the First Fleet carrying the soldiers and convicts arrived at Port Jackson on the east coast of 'New Holland' they renamed New South Wales in 1788.
But the same day commemorates a massacre upon my people on an inland lagoon in 1838, 50 years later.

Thanks to NSW #CrownLands for allowing us back on our country to hold cultural events. The old hall never looked better. Back in the day it used to be where rations were given out by the Protection Board. Now we've come home. #Dhirriaayaay #TerryHieHie

Enough of stupid white people (Twitter), I'm looking for empowerment, connections and conversation. With 60,000 years of history, I have something to say.
