Gumbaynggirr Country is located on the mid-north coast of New South Wales. It is also known as the Bellingen/ Gleniffer Valley and has curated three reserves in the 21st century with memorials which are all named after white settlers:
The Arthur Keough Reserve (Never Never River) is named after the first settler pioneer families to arrive in the Gleniffer Valley.

From a colleague:
"Have you been involved in collecting, documenting, digitising or engaging people with spontaneous memorials, after tragic events such as mass violence attacks or disasters?
If so, please consider completing this online survey: Spontaneous Memorials: Collection, Documentation, Access and Secondary Trauma (https://www.qualtrics.manchester.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_8jKRaWvBS8jTtae). The survey takes 10-15 minutes to complete."
Open through July 31. Please boost!
www.qualtrics.manchester.ac.ukSpontaneous Memorials: Collection, Documentation, Access and Secondary TraumaThis survey aims to identify and document physical and/or digital collections of spontaneous memorials held by cultural, governmental, educational or community organisations around the world. The results of this survey will inform the design of a cultural policy and practice for physical and/or digital collections of spontaneous memorials.

I create a lot of grief work. I find it rewarding to hear from and know that I've brought someone comfort.

Our pets are like family. I've been inspired to create grief and celebration of life work for many years. I mostly design and write poetry for humans, but I do not forget our beloved cats and dogs (birds and fish too). I offer custom work as well. It's my honor to create memorials. I am humbled.
