Sharing, talking, yarning – its an integral aspect of traditional life for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities. It's said that a problem shared is a problem halved, and our Yarning Circles provide a platform for local men to meet and share their struggles and victories with each other, engaging in discussion over community issues and the importance of cultural preservation. Five Bridges currently facilitates two Yarning Circles:

Ipswich

Men meet once a month and engage in various activities such as traditional artwork, beading, music and yarning.

Meetings occur on the last Friday of each month from 10:30am to 12:30pm (commencing 26th July 2019).
