Forward Note

First of all it is important to note that I am not on a typical secondment. I am taking part in the Cape York program to not only add a personal contribution to the programs efforts but to also get an overview of the program and the various projects so I can effectively communicate this back to fellow IBMers and knowledgably co-ordinate and promote the program. I will not be based in one spot working on one project for the whole month but rather travelling to a number of different communities. I will be visiting Arakun, Coen, Cooktown and Hopevale with Vit, then I will be spending two weeks in Mosman Gorge working on comms with Family Income Management (FIM) and I will be spending my last weeks in Cairns where I will have the opportunity to meet with a number of Project Managers from Indigenous Enterprise Partnerships (IEP).

Secondly, it is also important that all readers are aware that this blog is a representation of my experiences and observations. I am not speaking for the whole Cape York Program, nor all secondees, nor the wider IBM. To follow this blog is to follow my personal journey and learning processes. Please feel free to comment, query, challenge… and enjoy!

A tiny note of caution sounded here! Don't worry, darling, we know it's you speaking for yourself, as always; but you are undertaking this journey on behalf of others as well as yourself - no misunderstandings!
Lots of love
