RECONCILIATION CONTINUES BEYOND THIS WEEK

National Reconciliation Week may come to an end, but reconciliation is ongoing work — every day, all year round.

Being All In means continuing to listen, learn, support and walk alongside First Nations peoples beyond commemorative dates and campaigns.

Keep showing up by:
🌿 Supporting First Nations businesses year-round
👣 Continuing cultural learning within your workplace or school
🖤 Building genuine relationships with local community
🍃 Attending First Nations events, markets and exhibitions
🌏 Creating long-term opportunities for First Nations voices and leadership

Reconciliation is built through action, consistency and connection.

At My Dilly Bag, we’re proud to share bushfoods, culture, conversation and community through workshops, products, events and experiences that bring people together around the table.

Thank you to everyone who has supported First Nations businesses, attended community events, had conversations, listened deeply and taken steps toward reconciliation this week 🤎

💬 TOPIC CARD:
“What is one action we can continue beyond Reconciliation Week to help create lasting change?”

Can I ask a favour of everyone who follows this page?

For years I have stood in parks, under bridges, in car parks, and in camps across Moreton Bay. I have listened to people sleeping rough, business owners, residents, volunteers, health workers, nurses, police, and community organisations.

One thing has become very clear.

We cannot keep pretending these issues will fix themselves.

Homelessness is growing.
Public spaces are under increasing pressure.
Waste is becoming a bigger issue.
Basic sanitation is lacking in many locations.

Whether you are passionate about homelessness, public health, community safety, or simply keeping our public spaces clean, this affects all of us.

That is why I am asking you to get behind this petition.

A big thank you to MP Nikki Boyd for sponsoring it and helping bring these concerns before Parliament.

This is not about choosing sides.

It is about recognising what is happening in our community and supporting practical solutions that improve outcomes for everyone.

If enough people speak up, Parliament has to listen.

So please take a couple of minutes to sign.

Then share it with your family, friends, workmates, community groups, and local pages.
( remember to share the link too)

Every signature matters.
Every share matters.
Every voice matters.

The petition link is in the comments.

Let's show Parliament that Moreton Bay cares enough to be part of the solution.

We have 3700 signatures, we need 10k to be taken seriously.

Ok folks, whilst we’re away at the amazing Eastwell Farms Heart Summit, we want to remind you all it’s a 5 weekend month! This means that it’s a farmer’s weekend 👩🏻‍🌾❤️, and the shop won’t be open today or this coming week, and no deliveries will happen next Saturday. 💪
Our online shop will open again next Sunday 31st of May! 🍑🍌🍖🍅
Have a fabulous day everyone- farmer Randal will be busy sharing the Echo Valley story, and the power of community this morning ❤️

Couple of big changes!

💡1. People’s Day has evolved. We were overwhelmed by positive feedback on the listening posts at our 2024 Summit - what we’d originally wondered if many would stop and make time for ended up being one of the most powerful parts of the day. So this year we’re giving the community a proper ‘Summit’ session to learn, collaborate and make sure your voices get carried through to the rooms where decisions get made, in Your Food, Your Future - People's Day workshop, SEQ Food Summit

🍻2. Not one but two evening social events, both open to everyone. Because none of this is possible without joy, fun and connection! A food film night on 19 July, and then on the 20th, an Eat Drink Think evening of panels and lightning talks from some big brains and bigger personalities in food. Details on these to come very soon, watch this space.

🧑‍🌾3. Industry Day is no longer invite-only. If you're in the business of growing, buying, transporting, cooking or serving food, we want you in the room. Come find your next collaborator or big idea.

There is a deeply moving and important story from SBS that we need our whole community to sit with.

This isn’t just an article about food.
This is about identity, healing, culture, injustice, and hope.

It follows Brisbane chef Chris Jordan ( Three Little Birds Events ) - a man who has spent years searching for purpose, connection, and a reason to keep going. After decades in kitchens around the world, it wasn’t until he found bushfoods that everything changed.

Through native ingredients - wattleseed, lemon myrtle, Kakadu plum - he didn’t just discover flavour…
he discovered who he is.

Chris speaks openly about the darkest parts of his life — moments where he was struggling, asking for guidance, searching for a reason. And in that space, he found mentorship, culture, and direction through our own Aunty Dale Chapman.

He shares, very honestly, that meeting Aunty Dale played a role in him getting sober - that her knowledge, leadership, and willingness to pass on culture gave him purpose.

That alone is powerful. But it doesn’t stop there.

This article also shines a light on a harsh truth:
👉 Australia’s bushfood industry is worth tens of millions of dollars
👉 Yet only a tiny percentage is Indigenous-owned

While the industry grows, many First Nations people - the original knowledge holders - are still being left behind.

Chris is working to change that.

He’s not just cooking - he’s mentoring!
He’s working with young Indigenous people, many at risk of entering the justice system, helping them reconnect to culture and build real pathways forward.

Because the reality is confronting:
First Nations youth are vastly overrepresented in detention, a reflection of deep, ongoing trauma and disconnection.

Through food, Chris is creating something different -
✨ connection
✨ pride
✨ opportunity
✨ healing

This article is not easy reading - but it is necessary.

It reminds us that bushfoods are not just ingredients on a plate.
They are culture, survival, identity, and legacy.

💛 Please take the time to read the full story
💛 Reflect on it
💛 And if it resonates share it with your mob

Because these are the conversations that need to be heard.

🌿 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝘄𝗮𝗽 & 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗯 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺
We’re starting something simple and meaningful — a monthly Swap & Share gathering at the farm.

THIS SATURDAY is our fist swap - Saturday, May 9th 8am-11am

A space to pass on 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝-𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀, reduce waste, and connect with community — all while giving beautiful items a second life.

🌻𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀:
Bring along a small selection of items you’d happily gift to a friend (5-8 items) and browse what others have shared.

We’ll have tables (and maybe even a clothesline to peg up your pieces) set up for a relaxed, open-air swap.

𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀:
• Bring up to 5–8 items per person
• Clothes and books must be clean and in good condition
• No stains, rips, or heavily worn pieces
• Swap one for one — please take what you’ll genuinely use
✅This isn’t a drop-off point — it’s a thoughtful exchange.

⭐️𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸::
Each month, we’ll nominate a local charity.
If you feel called, you can add a gold coin donation to our jar to support that cause.

Any remaining items will be responsibly passed on to local organisations, with a different charity chosen by our volunteers each month.

Come for the swap, stay for the connection 🌱
