Reconcilliation is something that happens every day, by the actions small and large that we all take.
This Sorry apology is long over due and we can all breath a sigh of relief and get on with being Australians together, each of us working in our own way to make the world a better place in big or small ways.
I live and work in NE Arnhemland, I work with the Yolngu people of Arnhemland both delivering and receiving Astronomical education.
I have just come back tonight from a performance by the "Chooky Dancers" performing their version of "Zorba the Greek" to an audience of 300 plus Yolngu and Napaki (all of us mob) from the town.
These dancers have attracted an audience of over 1/2 million people on U-tube
Nights like tonight make me proud to be a part of this community .
The second photo in particular symbolizes the unity that can be achieved in the community
