The referendum on the Voice to Parliament will be held next Saturday.

What the Voice will do:

- The Voice will be a committee of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who will give advice to Parliament and Government on matters that affect them.

- Members will be chosen by Indigenous people in their local area and will serve for a fixed term.

- Enshrining the Voice means that it can't easily be abolished at the whim of future governments.

What the Voice will NOT do:

- It will not take anything away from non-indigenous Australians.

- It is NOT a United Nations conspiracy to take away your land or property.

- It is NOT a vote for Apartheid.

- No additional taxes will be imposed to 'pay' for the Voice committee.

A yes vote is simply the right thing to do. A yes vote will mean that our Government will finally, properly listen to Indigenous voices and work towards closing the gap in health, education and opportunities.

Come on Australia. We can do it.

School holiday adventures in Bronte the bus to the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. We discovered a new favourite beachside camp at a beautiful place called Lipsons Cove. And somehow, we were the only people camping there!

Our favourite salt lake in outback South Australia. Lake Hart. This is Kokatha country. We're currently on holidays in Bronte the bus for a week or two. It's been nice to get back on the road again.

Waterfalls and low clouds descend upon Uluru during the recent wet weather in Central Australia. What a magical sight!

This is Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yangkunytjatjara country.

Winter burning along the Kata Tjuta Road with this mad crew! Definitely my favourite part of the job. The Operations team at Uluru are currently recruiting for more rangers. Come join our team! Link to job in bio.

Saving tjakura (great desert skink). This fascinating lizard lives in large burrow complexes in family groups of up to four generations. The tjakura is sadly listed as a threatened species due to the introduction of feral species and changes to traditional fire patterns. The tjakura is ecologically and culturally important.

Ranger groups across the desert have teamed up to help protect the tjakura. A talented group of Anangu artists created these amazing tjakura sculptures at Walkatjara for today's launch of 'Mulyamiji March'. Everyone came together this afternoon to learn more about this beautiful lizard and to hear tjakura tjukurpa.

Mutitjulu School students, Walkatjara artists and staff, College staff, Aged Care residents, community workers, scientists, the Threatened Species Commissioner and Parks staff were all there to celebrate the tjakura. It was a lovely afternoon in the desert!

Big thanks to the NCR crew for organising today's launch event and to everyone else who helped make today a huge success.

Wai palya! Ngayulu pukularinyi! Pitjanjatjara nintiringanyi-na.

You're looking at a proud graduate of the 2023 Summer School - Pitjantjatjara Yangkunytjatjara Language and Culture course at University of South Australia. I recently spent two weeks in the big smoke (Adelaide) learning from the best Pitjantjatjara teachers in the universe. My teachers for this incredible course included Nyunmiti Burton and Rene Kulitja (pictured). Approximately 60 students from all walks of life attended the school in Adelaide.

Pitjantjatjara and Yangkunytjatjara are 'sister dialects' of a larger language group called the Western Desert Language (which covers a large part of Central and Western Australia). Pitjantjatjara is considered a relatively healthy Aboriginal language with approximately 3,500 native speakers living in South Australia, Northern Territory and Western Australia (2021 Census Data). There is a comprehensive dictionary printed and a growing number of reading resources available for schools. According to Wikipedia, APY lands schools taught a bilingual curriculum until the late 1980s, when the programs were defunded, and teaching reverted to English only. In December 2018 it was announced that the South Australian Government would commit to teaching in the Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara languages, with English as an additional language, by 2029. It is vital that schools are properly funded and staffed to teach Anangu kids in Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara to ensure the continuation of these precious languages.

I've still got a long way to go in my own learning journey but this course has really inspired me to reach for the stars. Hopefully I can prove that you're never too old to learn new things!

On my last day in Adelaide, I took Nyunmiti and Rene for a spot of Op shopping and a beachside picnic at Noarlunga.

Overall, it was an incredible two weeks in the big smoke. I met so many passionate people and made so many new friends. It was also the longest that I've ever been away from my supportive family, and so it was very nice to come home to them again at Uluru.

This timeless landscape, home to Anangu for tens of thousands of years, has my heart.

Chasing puddles at Uluru this afternoon. It was a wet start to Saturday here, with 18.4mm recorded nearby at Yulara. I missed the early morning waterfalls but found some good sized puddles still lying around late this afternoon.

One last burst of golden light through the clouds at Uluru tonight. Have a beautiful weekend everyone.

A most treasured memory from earlier this year. Lake Ballard near Menzies was a bucket list destination for me. Located 2 hours drive north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, this remote salt lake is home to a unique art installation by British artist Antony Gormley. There are 51 metal figures located across the lake. That's me posing with a torch near one of the salt lake islands!

To the Wangkatha people, this special place holds the Dreaming story of the Seven Sisters, with the islands in the lake representing the seven sisters. The island featured in this image is the eldest of the sisters. For many Aboriginal peoples, the Seven Sisters are also represented in the night sky (a group of stars which Europeans know as the Pleiades constellation).

I spent several hours wandering across this landscape in the dark and it certainly feels like a very spiritual and important place.

The best time to visit Lake Ballard is during the cooler months. In summer the daily temperature on the lake can exceed 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit) and it certainly felt like that when we visited in January. We spent most of the day sheltering in our air conditioned bus (thanks to solar power) and only ventured out on to the lake very late in the afternoon. Not surprisingly, we were the only people camped at the lake!
