Nyinyikay Homeland, north of Nhulunbuy in East Arnhem Land is the home of home of Nancy Mutilnga Burrarwanga and her family, who live a very traditional lifestyle.
When visitors come to Nyinyikay they will have an opportunity to share the daily life of the Nyinyikay families and to develop new awareness, knowledge and skills of traditional Aboriginal culture by participating in a wide range of activities.
Two dynamic women who have lived in their remote ancestral homeland of Mapuru in North East Arnhem Land all their lives have developed workshops in their community to share their culture with others. Daily they spin and weave articles that they need for themselves, their relatives, for ceremonies and for sale. These sisters have remarkable skill, which is shown by the extent to which they have travelled throughout Australia teaching their skills through workshops at galleries and museums.

Make a comment or post any questions you may have about our enterprise at the Yalanji Mataka forum at this link: http://www.isx.org.au/forums/list.php?84 We look forward to your input! ---------------------------------------------- Yalanji Mataka/ 2011 Statement of Investment Needs Warehouse/Garage in Mossman with caretakers accommodation The warehouse garage needs to be on about an acre of land or more, and needs to have covered area for dismantling vehicles and storing spare parts.
It's been over two years since George and Lily Fishers' historic Daintree home burned down. The Mossman community have rallied to the cause raising over $14,000 for a building fund to rebuild their home.
The ISX has long had the view that home ownership is a vital part of the 'closing the gap' project for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. But in the Fishers' case it is about having the comfort of spending the years ahead in their own house on their own land.
YJMAC was incorporated in 2004 and has since recorded previously undocumented traditional bio-cultural knowledge such as stories, hunting, gathering, ceremonial practices, art, use of bush foods and medicine, language, ethics, clan boundaries, sacred sites, family histories and land management practices.
During this project Elders, who have now passed on, shared knowledge which would otherwise been lost to future EKY generations.
I am trying to begin my first hairdressing salon in a local suburb. I began hairdressing as a school based apprentice and was provided with great opportunities and i would love to do the same for other teenagers like my self. This is the begining of a much bigger dream. In the future i hope to go back to college to gain qualifications to open a training orginisation, to give back to young teenagers the same opportunities i was given and to make gaining a trade as fun and easy as possible.

Who are We
The SITP aims to assist three tennis coaches to get their coachingqualifications this year - Lua Penrith De Burgh, Terrence Murphy and Alfred

Thanks to funding from the Elsa Dixon program they are all currently employed on a part-time basis by Jensens as trainee coaches and will be commencing additional coaching training programs at Tennis NSW soon.

Gary has been working with the Chewyings for the past 8 years. He is now working independently whilst maintaining the support of the Chewyings methodology. Gary is keen to further develop his own business doing ride on and push mowing work. Work would be tailored to Gary's abilities. Gary now has the ability to move away from the welfare world. The objective is to provide him with enough work to do so. We are hoping the Shoalhaven or other organisations across Australia could support this project Chewying's has undertaken.
Mowing-a-long is a mainstream, estalished lawn mowing and gardening business in the Shoalhaven area of NSW. The business is a one man operation at present, and Chewying's have been offering support to the business for the past 12 months. This support includes access to the Chewyings online portal, polices and procedures, and staff when needed. Whilst this buiness is in direct competition to Chewying's the two businesses work together to support each other in a unique partnership. By supporting this business, the benefits flow through to the staff at Chewyings also.
