On Country: Framlingham Trip Reflection “Communities should be healing and more acceptable after their after stage.” -Uncle Lenny

Purifying the land
First Day
The site as standing, you can overview a slight view of the Hopkin River
Stepping on country framlingham for the first time, we felt this sensational feeling, something deeper with root of it’s history.
Meeting Uncle Andrew Clarke, Brett Clarke, Lurpeen Clarke and Beau Cozens while we talk and listen about their stories.
Enjoying the welcome ceremony for the first time
Listening to Uncle Andrew playing the guitar, enjoying the moment and listening to dreamtime stories.
Our times around the camp fire surrounding with the nature of Uncle Andy playing the music allowed us to discover, learn and understand one another and felt the sense of belonging to the land no matter if we are black or white, yellow or red, we are all equal.
It caught my surprise that Mount Nooratt is actually a Volcano that has not been erupted for decades and it is amazing to standing on it.
We could learn and be inspired by how nature would reshape and inform the landscape and reflect on our own design to respect the land we are standing on.
“ Caring for Country Caring for you.” - Uncle Lenny
Waking up the next morning while appriciating On Country with the surreal nature and hearing the birds chirp.
Second Day
We were paired into partners where we studied the location of the site and how can we illustrate that with our next assignment.
Uncle Lenny took us to Framlingham Forest and how it all started with it’s history.
We all gathered for a short break and ate a hearty meal with everyone as a community.
Bonding with Lurpeen, Uncle Andrew and Kirrae spending our last night together with stories and company.
We went to pay respect to Uncle Lenny’s ancestors and extended family.
We went for a visit to the Hopkin River and Mount Noorat.
Final Day
The last few minutes, we recieved a book from Uncle Lenny that lists memoirs and great highlights of Uncle Banjo Clarke.
Our times spent in Framlingham felt very powering with lots of memories will treasure deep inside us. We reminded ourself that these goodbye are temporary, where we hope to reunite with everyone again.

Planting Trees Invite people to the site to plant their own trees on the site. Every tree has a QR code, scan it with the App so you can link with your own tree. Therefore, you can take care of your tree by clicking "Watering for Tree" every day and it will cost $2 every time, and this money would go through to the Aboriginal community who is on-site and taking care of your tree. Storytelling with music Sit around with the campfire. Chating around with friends and community and listening to the beautiful music presented by a local musician. For many Aboriginal cultures, the night sky is a repository of stories and laws. songlines can be traced through the sky and the land. Stories and songs associated with the sky under many cultural tents
