We have a big opportunity to learn following the 2022 floods. Bundjalung man Oli Costello believes “the only way to learn is from the river, like our old people did…

We need to heal the river so it can teach us good ways to live with it and all that it brings. Healing the river will help heal people too. Hopefully we will all learn and share these connections. We need to trust the river more now than ever before. The river and the weather are telling us the Country is unhealthy, not just here but globally because temperatures, rainfall and other indicators are changing more rapidly and to greater extremes.”

Flood mitigation comes in many forms. In this Living Lab Talk Oli Costello will give us another perspective to consider, recognising we need to look to Indigenous land management values and practices to inform our adaptation in the Northern Rivers.

A talk with Oli Costello, Jagun Alliance followed by a conversation with Tom Wolff, Revive the Northern Rivers
