Who we are
We are residents of the Northern Rivers who care for our communities. We live on the land of the Bundjalung Nation, including the Arakwal people, the Widjabal people and the Minjungbal people, and we pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.
We acknowledge with deep respect, that had our society been better at listening to Country, we would not have to spend so much energy on building resilience.
