🎙️ BROOME ➡️ LA ➡️ YOUR SPEAKERS 🔊

We’re excited to announce a brand‑new show from Radio Goolarri — Sonic Dialog — where local Broome voices meet global sounds.

This isn’t just a playlist. It’s a collaboration, a story‑bridge across the Pacific. Our Broome artists choose three tracks by up‑and‑coming US musicians that have inspired them — then we dive deep into the stories, the identity, the culture behind those tracks… and finish with one of their own songs.

It’s about more than music. It’s about giving local voices a global platform, sharing culture and identity, and creating connection through sound.

📅 Broadcast Schedule

First up: Adele Oliver — this Monday at 6 PM AWST / 9 PM AEDT

Next week: Stellar Moon

Final episode: Matalja

Can’t catch the live? Replay airs every Friday at 6 PM AWST.

If you’re into real voices, culture, soul, and music that hits across oceans.. this one’s for you! Share it, tag a mate, and tune in. 🔥

Are you thinking of applying to the WA Stolen Generations Redress Scheme?

You could be a target for scammers who will pretend to help you get the money, when they really want to steal it. They might also claim to be from a law firm or a government department.

Follow our advice to keep your money safe:
✅ Be suspicious of anyone who contacts you via social media, or unexpectedly on text or phone offering to help you get your money quicker if you pay a fee.
✅ You will never have to pay money to receive your redress money.
✅ You do not need to pay a support service or law firm to help you apply.
✅ Don’t share your personal details with people you don’t know. If anyone contacts you saying they are from the Government, hang up and call the Scheme Operations Team at the Department of the Premier and Cabinet to check if the call was real - 08 6552 5050
✅ If you’re unsure, speak with family or someone you trust.
✅ If you think you’ve been contacted by a scammer, or paid money to a scammer, call our WA ScamNet team on 1300 30 40 54 – you can ask to speak to an Aboriginal Officer if you prefer. Or report online scamnet.wa.gov.au . We're here to help.

Coercive control – it’s not our story

Aboriginal culture is strong with stories, but this story is not part of us.

When he gets jealous a lot and makes you feel shame, over and over, it’s called coercive control and it’s not part of our culture.

This campaign was created with Aboriginal people, for Aboriginal people, using cultural storytelling practices at the heart.

Warning: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that this post contains the name and image of a person who has died.

Ngarrindjeri, Kokatha, Pitjantjatjara singer, creative and activist Ruby Hunter was celebrated with a Google Doodle on what would have been her 70th birthday on Friday 24 October.

Doodles are changes to the logo on the google search page and are changed to celebrate things like holidays and anniversaries. Hunter's Doodle was visible for audiences in Australia.

In 1994 Hunter became the first Aboriginal woman to sign with a major record label on the release of her solo debut album, Thoughts Within. She helped tell the stories of the Stolen Generation through her music and was a mentor and parental figure to so many First Nations musicians in subsequent generations.

The hand-painted Doodle was created by Arrernte and Kalkadoon artist, Thea Anamara Perkins. It recreates a photo of Ruby playing her guitar on Ngarrindjeri Country, and features a pelican, one of Hunter’s cultural totems, which was a prominent symbol in her life and work.

Perkins says it was a privilege to be invited to honour Hunter with the artwork. "She is a trailblazer for First Nations women in music. It is very special to be a small part of keeping her story alive, as well as sharing it with new audiences," she shares.
