Henry the Emu wanted to fly...

Niraj is a gifted LOCAL writer of children's stories. His latest story, Henry the Flying Emu is about an emu that wanted to fly.  The story combines science and literature to bring us a narrative that is both educational and entertaining. The reader learns that the emu's tendency to fall to Earth is just the same as the Moon, constantly falling towards the Earth, but staying of course in its orbit around the Earth. This is Isaac Newton's story of the apple falling on his head re-written - great for all ages!"

Aboriginal communities across Australia have boundaries that are defined by mountain ranges and waterways. Traditionally, to cross these boundaries or enter community country you needed permission from the neighbouring community. When this permission was granted the ceremony now called Welcome to Country took place. Each community had its own way of welcoming to country, and they still do today.
