Fregon is an indigenous community in remote South Australia.
Kay and Theresa sang us an ‘inma’ which means song in Pitjantjatjara. It was beautiful! They’re teaching us their pictograms and some words so that we can translate parts of the Teen Challenge curriculum into Pitjantjatjara.
Freecycle_Adelaide : Freecycle Adelaide
The Adelaide Freecycle(TM) group is open to all who want to”recycle” that special something rather than throw it away. Whether it’s a chair, a fax or old door, feel free to post it. Or maybe you’re looking to acquire something yourself!
This is a great way for our ‘stuff’ to be reused instead of going into landfill! You can also save money by picking up some awesome bargains 🙂
Not only do I think this book will be useful for my final project for college this year but I’m sure I will also make a lot of the other projects in it too. Will be ordering a copy soon.
Do others recycle? Do you use recycled gear in your art or craft? Do you buy from op shops? I’m not great at recycling all my household waste but I’m improving. I do work hard to use what I’ve already got or what is around me outside in my art projects though. I also like to mix some new bought fabric or yarn with Mum’s or Grandma’s scraps or things I’ve been given. Because my friends know I re-use they’re always giving me things!!! It’s great!! At the moment I’m using rings from the top of plastic drink bottles in a crochet wall hanging.
Business Spectator – Conroy's wrong on net filtering – Blog – Simon Hackett
Senator Conroy took on his critics yesterday in a blog titled ”the truth about net filtering” that defended the government’s mandatory censorship policy. I think it’s important to set the record straight and look at the “truth” behind each of his assertions.

Unfortunately, ISP-level filtering will not help fight child pornography and it will not keep children safe online. It will have absolutely zero effect upon either aim.

I just made a list of all the Genealogy cdroms I have and stuck it on the wall by my computer. I can refer to it easily instead of looking through a box of cds. I went through each cd and listed all the resources on each one. The Who Do You Think You Are Magazine cds have more data resources than the Your Family History ones. It’s really handy to know as this will affect my magazine buying in the future. These are both English magazines. I like the English magazines as nearly all of my ancestors are from the UK. The only Australian magazine I’ve bought is Australian Family Tree Connections.
Next I’m going to do a list of my books and magazines. I don’t have many so this isn’t a large task but I want to do it now and keep adding to it as I buy more.
Does anyone have any tips they’d like to share?
Yesterday I went on a tour with the Adelaide Northern Districts Family History Group which went to Little Para Wesleyan Methodist Cemetery, One Tree Hill Cemetery, Uley Baptist Cemetery and Uleybury School.
