Algngga - Traditional Olkola Messmate Benched Humpy Shelter Story
Algngga is the story of the revival of the traditional Olkola messmate benched humpy shelter, a special wet season shelter that hasn’t been built around the Kowanyama area for well over 80 years.
Cultural Background
When 0rrjar comes, the clouds gather at the end of ugng adnd the dry season and thunder and ok eban lightning tells of the coming of onyjon,the wet season. Urrgi, our country, comes to life as unyan the rain fills the waterholes and swamps and the bark of ug athar the messmate and ug ewomben the box tree loosens as trees come to life after a long hot Ugng adnd dry season.
Olkola old people say the sound of thunder is made by the thunder being Inh ogan adndal as he breaks the bones of humans and animals on his forehead, something he has done since the beginning of time. It was time to prepare for the long wet season. Western Olkola lands become a flooded country of ujny erang, march flies, ogngol, mosquitoes and eran, sandflies. It was time to make or begin repair of algngga the raised messmate bark shelters, and in drier places purrgnggu the tea tree bark mosquito shelters.
It is a hard season in the messmate and ironwood forests where the ground becomes boggy. There are many flooded areas in western Olkola country with many kinds of biting insects day and night. During bush times, many families shifted to the higher ground of relatives' neighbouring clan lands.
Many bush fruits would be ripening and Egng oyjo and egng ejaj the sour and long yams would once
again be climbing the trees and bushes. Engng alko native bee’s nests would get fat with Egnga
oyjo (honey) from blossoming country. There would be fish traps to be made and fish to be caught in swollen gullies and streams.

THE LIGHT WITHIN

When I’m out on country making a story, the sun is like a director. It shines in certain ways and tells me where to point the camera. Light falls differently at sunrise and sunset. It feels different. And everything looks good. But there is a light inside some people that cannot be ignored. It doesn’t matter who they are, or where they’re from, or what they look like. They just have this light....

Tom, is it possible for someone in the US to get the help of a Ngangkari from a distance?
Can Mia send her spirit to heal me? I need her help.

What a blessing. Love and Light to all. Nature and Community are vital for every one of us. Beautifully shared moment in time. Thanks
The strength of social emotional knowledges trump MHFA.
Oh my! Happy tears are rolling down my cheeks at the sight of this homecoming! Thank you for the privelege of being able to witness the kindness and embrace.
What a beautiful video - thank you for sharing the very special story of Rhondie's return to Olkaola Country - Kowanyama.
Hoping it is repeated. What a wonderful way of bringing light to what has been discrimination and isolation we experience and meeting personal and community needs. We all need each other and connections with place and space. Thank you so much for sharing Rhondie and mob.
G’day Tom please to meet you today 👣👣👣
Hey Cherie yes lovely to meet you too.
Note: promo poster c 2nd minute Georgia is '..From Jamaica', not Cairns.
Don't tell me what my business is and isn't.
I'm not; I'm inspiring and encouraging Australians to go on their own journey of reconciliation. If you don't feel inspired or encouraged by my efforts that's fine. Tom
Congratulations Tom! What an amazing achievement! Onwards & upwards for the future. 🙂👏👏👏🎉🧡
Thanks so much Marita!
Lovely Video keep the Culture alive pass it on to the next Generation ♥️
He bowled him our for a duck twice, the only man who done feared in the game.
My family have an amazing photo of my grandfather and eddie on the same team at cherbough mission.
Yo that's right, it is very very important for our future.
Great video Tom!
Why can't this be done Australia-wide using/run by local and indigenous people? We have the most natural resource in our indigenous population who were managing their land in a truly holistic way long before colonisation wrecked everything. By not embracing them, we are dooming ourselves/everyone.
❤him again deadly
That's funny Don Bradman always says Harold Lawrood was the fastest bowler he ever faced.
Why would he give any credit to a blackfella? You understand don’t ya?

Nice big Island I love it. Its a beautiful place.
i am coming next year - I am super excited about experiencing this and immersing myself in this beautiful culture
This is sad. I've been researching all things fast bowling, but had never heard of him - now I know it was a sign of the times :( He must have been lightning quick to unsettle Bradman like that.
Grew up with nothing in an orphanage, every disadvantage, every racist insult hurled at him. Played like no other, was a gentleman like no other. Bullshit excuses for bad behaviour are just that.
I suffer and have suffered from depression too and since 14yrs in High School, thanks for being transpsrent Ernie. Only with God’s help through Jesus Christ I am still here today.

Bowling action Gilbert in his follow-through Though he had a controversial action he was called only once for throwing and that for jerking his wrist. Importantly the straightness of his arm was never contradicted by umpires. The occasion of him being called was the match between Victoria and Queensland at the MCG in 1931. The umpire Andrew Barlow, no-balled him 13 times for his action. Alan McGilvray said he had "absolutely no doubt" that Gilbert was "the fastest bowler I ever saw" and that "no matter how I analyse cricket down the years, I cannot imagine anybody bowling a ball faster than Eddie Gilbert". Of the legality of Gilbert's action, McGilvray commented, "It was hard to tell whether he actually chucked or not, because he let the ball go with such a fling of his right arm you got precious little sight of it."[2] Retirement Gilbert retired from the game in 1936 due to poor form whereupon officials in the Queensland Cricket Board and the Aboriginal Protectorate arranged for his return to an Aboriginal settlement. Gilbert died at the Wolston Park Hospital near Brisbane on 9 January 1978, aged 72 after many years of ill health due to alcoholism and mental illness. It was thought by some people that his personal demons stemmed from the racism he suffered: not being allowed to room with the team and made to sleep in a tent on the practice pitch; in addition to being forced out of the game and labelled a cheat because of his suspect bowling action. Some have said he never really recovered from this. In 2015 Gilbert's son Barney unveiled the sign at the dedication of the Eddie Gilbert Memorial Field near the hospital, with folk singer Dermot Dorgan offering his tribute song "Eddie Gilbert" about the life and struggles of the iconic fast bowler.[3] Recognition In 2007 Queensland Cricket erected a bronze statue of Gilbert in Greg Chappell Street, outside Allan Border Field, Albion.[4] Designed by Pauline Clayton, the statue shows Gilbert in full flight. The monument was dedicated in November 2008.[5] In 2007, Indigenous Sport Queensland established the Eddie Gilbert Medal to recognise Queensland's best indigenous sports person
Very interesting stuff thanks
He conveniently forgot that 50 years ago Abo's would freely admit that their ancestors were cannibals, when a woman got old and there was no need to have her around they would eat her. Try mentioning that these days and the fcukin PC dykocracy are right onto you!!!
