The Journey:
9 September 2019: Special Guest Speaker: Uncle Bruce Shillingsworth:The Situation of the Murray-Darling River. A Muruwari and Budjiti man from Brewarrina, he speaks passionately
on the way the sacred river has been laid waste and what we need to do
to fix the mess.The Murray-Darling is the longest and most important river system in
Australia at 2,750 kms and 15th largest river system in the world, and
it is lifeless. Despite the $8 billion already spent as part of this $13 billion plan it has been a failure. Hosted by Aboriginal Support Group Manly Warringah Pittwater Flyer at http://www.asgmwp.net/media/2019-09-09-Uncle_Bruce_Shillingsworth.pdf
