Remote Community Musing #3: A Reflection upon an experience my heart will never forget

The third and final installment of Remote Community Musings from Balgo in the Kimberley in the North East of Western Australia. A conversation about broken systems, the little wins, the power of community and an enormous nod to an experience I will never forget. An important acknowledgement of the community I worked within - The Wirrimanu Aboriginal Community. Thank you.
