Crafted by Kayla Cartledge, a Gurindji woman living on Bunurong/Boon Wurrong land, this guide to creating a personal reconciliation action plan (RAP) is a thought provoking exercise. As a community who love to play in the waters and on the lands of the Bunurong/Boon Wurrung people, it’s important for us to think about how we as individuals interact with and support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities on the Mornington Peninsula.
