» woorama - correspondence with gary chestnut

hi gary

your wife judith referred me to you. basically, i am looking to find some funding to begin environmental projects that foster reconciliation by fusing education, riparian work, native language and culture, and negotiation of land access (and hopefully stewardship employment opportunities) for local indigenous people.

our grand vision is to try and link these sites together along traditional songlines and trade routes by making dreaming trails combining bush food plants and art works. our hope would be that the projects gather momentum, are not owned by anybody in particular, and start a bit of a community action revolution resounding along ancient songlines nationwide.

i don't know if that coincides with any of the projects or aims in your organisation. but if it does, i would certainly be prepared to come down and make a start in gosford.

one of my main concerns is in education, so i would be happy to do some work in the schools, and create literacy texts from the hands-on action-learning experiences the project will provide.

i've spent ten years as a teacher - if you want to know more about my history you can check out my cv at http://www.suite101.com/profile.cfm/woor...

thanks for your time gary. hope to hear from you soon.
