From Our Heart to Yours

Reconciliation Tasmania recently launched From Our Heart to Yours –a collection of works from northern Tasmanian children in response to the Uluru Statement of the Heart.

Federal Member for Bass Bridget Archer who attended the official launch of the book said more than 100 local children contributed to the project.

“Children from across the region have created paintings, written letters and even songs resulting in a series of very moving and powerful pieces,” Mrs Archer said.

Bridget took a number of the books to Parliament House to present to members of all sides of the Parliament including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese,

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, Shadow Minister for Indigenous Australians Julian Leeser and Labor Senator and Aboriginal Elder Senator Pat Dodson.

The campaign began as an idea from Reconciliation Tasmania volunteer Bridie White in 2021. Bridie, together with other volunteers including Jess Murphy and Harley Russell and board member Georgie Crockett have worked tirelessly to turn the idea into a reality.
