Collaboration between indigenous weavers and a design company

The design company Koskela is collaborating with the Yolngu women of Elcho Island Arts in north-eastern Arnhem Land, in Australia?s Northern Territory to produce contemporary lampshades. As each artist has complete freedom to interpret the form, each light is a one off and therefore unique. http://yb.koskela.com.au/

A one word change in the Australian anthem

"We are young and free" in the Australian national anthem has been changed to "We are one and free”. This change removes a notion that has presented a challenge for many in uniting behind our national song. The change is small in nature but significant in purpose. It is an acknowledgment that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures date back 65,000 years. It is also an acknowledgement that people who have come across the seas, 250 years ago or more recently, are as much of this nation and our story as any other Australian. https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/changing-the-national-anthem-is-real-reconciliation-20210101-p56r6v.html

When will drones replace fireworks for New Year celebrations?

Drone light shows differ from fireworks displays because drones are reusable, and do not produce chemical and noise pollution.&nbs
