Learn to support urban nature and meet like-minded community members.

Join us and become an Urban Nature Steward by learning how to support and care for nature at home, and across your urban environment.

Join us for Reconciliation Week 2026, themed “All In”—a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation, every single day.

The Mitcham Library Service is honoured to welcome Uncle Moogy (Major Lancelot Sumner), a senior Kaurna-Ngarrindjeri Elder from the Coorong, and Aunty Elaine (Munartu) Magias, a proud Kaurna–Narangga woman, for an evening of deep cultural reflection, storytelling, and truth-telling.

Across one powerful night, Uncle Moogy and Aunty Elaine generously shared their personal journeys, cultural knowledge, and perspectives on Aboriginal culture, community, sharing, and working together. Though each carries different lived experiences of the Stolen Generations, they came together in a spirit of strength, generosity, and healing—offering attendees a rare opportunity to listen deeply, learn, and reflect.

The evening explored:

the importance of truth-telling in understanding Australia’s shared history

the resilience and cultural continuity of First Nations communities

personal stories of survival, identity, and connection to Country

ways communities can walk together towards respect, understanding, and reconciliation

This event provided a significant and meaningful opportunity to hear from two respected cultural leaders whose voices continue to shape reconciliation efforts across South Australia. Their honesty, wisdom, and cultural leadership offered a strong foundation for ongoing community healing and shared understanding.

Why does our wildlife need your help?

Our wildlife populations face many dangers as their habitat decreases and they are forced to live closer to us. The biggest dangers are cats, dogs, cars, poisons and loss of native habitat. When concerned members of the public find wildlife that is sick, injured or orphaned, they look to vets and wildlife volunteers to step in and help. In a future of climate change, wildlife carers and rescuers will be more important than ever.
