Swimming the River - National Reconciliation Week 2020

“Swimming the River” is how Wunan Chairman Ian Trust explains the key issues facing Aboriginal people in the East Kimberley. The diagram depicts the impact of European settlement, challenge for many Aboriginal people to adapt to the changing environment and damage to people and culture that has resulted. It also proposes a solution – Living Change – whereby Aboriginal people accept responsibility for their future, capitalise on their abilities and, with help, learn to “swim the river” and prosper from the opportunities that exist across the region and beyond.

Rural Lifestyle Options Australia are committed to building relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures, and futures as part of our commitment to reconciliation in Australia.

Action for Happiness Calendar (June 2020)

Every month, our People and Culture Division share with staff an Action for Happiness Calendar to promote good health and wellbeing among our workforce.

As an organisation we are going to continue to share these Calenders once a month, to help us look after ourselves and each other, as we face this global crisis together.

It’s a good reminder that "Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day" - Alice Morse Earle.
