It has been a valuable journey since the National Indigenous Dialogue on Climate Change (NIDCC or the Dialogue) held on Yorta Yorta Country at Barmah in 2018. We almost didn’t make it to Cairns for the National First People’s Gathering on Climate Change, due to the uncertainties of COVID-19 restrictions in the states and territories. However, over the past 2 years we had vision, a great team, and perseverance, and with some good fortune we made it to Cairns. Our original plan was to hold the Gathering on Country, as occurred with the Dialogue at Barmah, supported by the Traditional Owner participants in 2018.
