In their own words
I am a proud Wakka Wakka man from South East Queensland and a strong advocate for the power of education. My parents, from humble Aboriginal families from the bush, understood the value of learning, and as a result, all of my siblings and I attained tertiary qualifications, with several of my siblings completing Masters and PhDs.
