The same Chrysler Valiant station wagon that returned Mungo Man to Country was used to carry esteemed Indigenous singer-songwriter Archie Roach through the streets of Collingwood, Fitzroy and Melbourne’s CBD for the final time on Monday.
Just as the discovery of Mungo Man’s remains after 42,000 years had been instrumental in increasing people’s understanding of Australia’s First Nations inhabitants, Roach, through heartfelt song, helped explain the pride and struggle of the continent’s Indigenous people. Mutthi Mutthi man Trevor Kelly joined a crowd at the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service in Fitzroy, where he remembered Roach welcoming him into his public housing residence in Reservoir as a teenager.
Donna Roach, a Gunditjmara woman and Roach’s niece, credited her uncle, a member of the stolen generations, with bringing her family on her mother’s side back together when she was a teenager.
🙏🏽🖤💛💔
Collingwood? Or, KKKollingwood? Any difference?

Schools that Excel: Sparking a love of learning at Kerang Technical High School“[The teachers] build a fantastic rapport with the students,” says principal Dean Rogers. “Being a small country town, you see them out in the yard, you see them out in the community, you go to the same places, and all these things contribute.' Considering they have just done the same behaviour as the Nazi did in 1938 with the gene therapy drug from a 'flu'. Nothing to be proud of, but I noticed they didn't own it which is teaching kids to let be in denial of choices. Sad. Rapport alone produces no excellence.
