  • 2020 Multicultural Calendar
    2020 MULTICULTURAL CALENDAR Cultural Perspectives on Ageing CORALIE CASSADY ABORIGINAL Coralie identifies as Aboriginal, her grandmother’s ancestral connection being the ‘Jirrbal’ people of the Atherton Tablelands area. Both her maternal grandparents were sent to Palm Island where Coralie’s mother was born in 1927. Coralie was born in Innisfail, raised in Ingham and has been living in Townsville since 2000. She graduated from James Cook University with a Diploma of Communication (2001) and also holds a Diploma of Radio Broadcasting from the Batchelor Institute, North Territory (2006). Coralie Cassady has self-published two poetry books ‘Poetic Perspective’ (2001) and ‘Proper Deadly Poetry’ (2007). Her poem ‘No Disgrace’ from the book ‘Proper Deadly Poetry’ is now a part of the Australian curriculum, having been published in Pearson’s English 9 textbook in 2012. The same poem also appears on the well informed indigenous themed ‘Creative Spirits’ website. She writes about racism, alcohol abuse, mental health issues, domestic violence, politics and family in general. Coralie’s main passion is mental health issues. She has read her mental health poems and other poems at various events and has been a regular contributor to ‘letters to the editor’ of the Townsville Bulletin on many topics during the past 15 years. Coralie added these reflections during our interview. “Although we speak English at home our traditional language from our ancestral tribe ‘Jirrbal’ is slowly being revived.
