The very popular Three Bags Full Cafe in Abbotsford recently hosted Desert2Surf’s PhotoVoice Exhibition – Through My Eyes….

Welcome to Country by Colin Hunter from the Wurundjeri Tribe

The exhibition featured a selection of photographs taken by indigenous children from the remote Northern Territory Community of Minyerri.  The photographs aimed to convey to the rest of the world what life is like for children living in a remote community. Overwhelmingly the photographs reflected the importance of family in the Minyerri Community and the connection the children have to their country.

An open night, held on Thursday 24 June, was enjoyed by over eighty people who were treated to a beautifully spoken Welcome to Country by Colin Hunter from the Wurundjeri Tribe.  They were also treated to some scrumptious ‘indigenous canapés’ designed by Nate and cooked by Kate, Three Bags Full’s chefs extraordinaire. These included Jerusalem artichoke soup, kangaroo with eucalyptus prunes served on baked polenta tarts, barramundi bites served with lemon myrtle salt and balsamic onions with yoghurt and fetta cheese served on wattle seed scones.

The Desert2Surf crew extend special thanks to Adrianne, Nicky, Lisa and Dave for their support on the night and to Coopers and Jez for providing beverages to help celebrate the exhibition. Last but not least a big shout out to Ben, Nathan, Sarah and Diamond from Three Bags Full for being the perfect hosts.
