Can we get bulk foods for the Lore ceremonies?

Greg Tucker, the GAC Lore and Culture Officer, has organized this for all communities with Lore ceremonies this year, and will administer the bulk foods.

My son is going through Lore this year. Can I get any help?

Yes, you can get help. Each family who has a boy going through Lore this year has been allocated a budget to help get things you may need to get during Lore, such as petrol or extra food. However, the Mother who is putting the boy through Lore is the only person who can get this on behalf of the family. The Mother can choose to let someone get fuel or something for the trip, but she needs to contact GAC herself and give GAC permission to let someone else get something. The Sub Committee will let GAC staff know who the Mother is, to help GAC make sure we get this right.

Who do I need to talk to about preparing Lore areas?

Firstly, you need to talk as a community to decide what you need. 

Our Lore and Culture Sub Committee can help with this. These men can also guide you in the processes you need to take.

Lore and Culture funding

This year, GAC is providing funding for Lore Activities, for families and for infrastructure at:

• Bellary Springs

• Cane River

• Wakathuni

• Wirrilimarra

• Youngaleena

We will help with Infrastructure and maintenance for these areas, within a budget approved by the Lore and Culture Sub Committee and the GAC Governing Committee. Member families with a Young Man attending Lore can also access funds to help them get items they may need during Lore time.
