NAIDOC week is held across Australia in the first week of July each year to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of First Nations peoples. To celebrate and honour the 2023 theme, ‘For Our Elders’, Darling’s guest writer Marc Bennie had the pleasure of interviewing living legend Aunty Glendra Stubbs.
Colours have the power to transform spaces and evoke emotions. Have you ever asked yourself why you feel energised when you step into a bright yellow room and relaxed when you’re in a soft green space. Darling sat down with Kym Shields from FINEPRINTCO to learn more about colour psychology.
The new mural on the corner of Darling Street and Victoria Road, captures local hero Arran Keith in a special moment with his supporters, doing one of his favourite activities – running. Darling spoke to Arran and his family about how having a disability has not prevented him from achieving anything. One of Arran’s first words was “I do it” and living in this great community of Rozelle, Arran is definitely doing it!
Kobi Shetty has served as an Inner West Councillor since 2021 and earlier this year she was elected to NSW Parliament representing Balmain for the Greens. She’s also a long-term Lilyfield local.
For years, the corner of Victoria Road and Darling Street has held the eyesore remains of the Tigers former club site, now the area will be transformed with construction set to start in mid-2023.
We love art and culture on the peninsula, and we’re lucky to have many great artists and creatives in our neighbourhood. The McGrath Balmain team spoke to some local legends.
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which this business operates, the Gadigal and Wangal peoples of the Eora nation, and pay our respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
