It was my first trip to Minjerribah (Stradbroke Island). What an honour to be among the co-facilitators for the University of Queensland’s Anthropology Society (UQAS) Minjerribah Writers Retreat 2024.
We learnt about different plants and animals, poetry, and had the chance to walk in other people’s shoes. My session was entitled ‘Writing to Preserve and Transmit Culture.’
Minjerribah is a beautiful Island in the Moreton Bay region of South East Queensland. I had the opportunity to speak to one of the locals, an aunty, who informed me that the Island is great for retirement. I might take her up on that suggestion.
Thanks to UQAS and everyone who made the day eventful and successful.
