Vale Aunty Robyn Reid. I didn’t have to know Robyn well to know that she was as good they come. She was always so happy, laughing at the sight of the girls as she burst into playgroup so excited to see all the tiny kids enjoying the space that is Mingaletta, our local Aboriginal Community Centre.
Every time I met Aunty Robyn her smile beamed from her face, and she left quite an impression in her enormous “Always Was Always Will Be” flag coat that was as long as she was.
Sending my respects to her family and community, thank you for being a beautiful soul Aunty Robyn and welcoming us into your world.
These photos + videos I took at last year’s NAIDOC celebrations.
