Many of our recent journeys to Majaddin have been a collaborative endeavour with the Boab Network: established in 2008 under the auspice of the Floreat Uniting Church congregation. It is a community of people assisting and supporting the Mowanjum community.
Robert completed a doctoral dissertation Beyond Collaboration: transcultural journeys in Kimberley, which explores collaborative relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people as traditional owners engage their lands. Read the thesis and other Rob’s articles.
This work is set within the history and context of the MOWANJUM ABORIGINAL COMMUNITY, situated the Gibb River Road near Derby in the Kimberley WA. The community hosts a magnificent Arts Centre which offers information on Aboriginal culture and a variety of artworks.
Robert’s work in the Kimberley has focused on listening to Indigenous voices, and as part of the Boab Network, responding to a variety of concerns from Aboriginal health issues, governmental policies, Aboriginal rights and Native Title. He and others are intent on raising local awareness through groups in Melbourne under the title Listening to Indigenous voices.
