A Week's Journey
Welcome back! It's been an eventful week here at edmradyo, let's take a moment to recap the highlights that have made this week special.
Firstly, we unveiled our latest collection of polo shirts, especially crafted to showcase the incredible talent of our featured artists, Alison Simpson and Leah Brideson. Each of the ten stunning designs tells a story deeply rooted in history, culture and pride. This diverse collection seamlessly blends tradition with contemporary aesthetics, reflecting the deep connection between nature, family, and Country.

We took our readers on a journey up north to provide coverage on an important milestone - After a year-long campaign, Fraser Island has officially adopted its traditional Butchulla name, K'gari. This recognition by the World Heritage Committee marks a significant step forward in acknowledging and preserving Indigenous heritage. K'gari, a place of profound cultural and spiritual significance, holds the stories of the Butchulla people and their connection to the land. This decision stands as a testament to the power of reclaiming Indigenous names and fostering cultural pride.

We jumped from K’gari to the pristine waters of the Kimberley, where a dedicated group of Indigenous wildlife rangers have taken a proactive step in ensuring the well-being of boaters in the Kimberley's North West region. The Bardi Jawi Rangers are collaborating with the Department of Fire and Emergency Services Marine Rescue, where they have established a campaign focused on marine safety. Recognising their role as first responders, the rangers are working diligently to promote awareness and educate local boating communities in Ardyaloon, Djarindjin, and Lombadina. Their efforts highlight the importance of preserving both the natural wonders of the region and the safety of those who explore it.
