Duchesne, UQ Law

Matthew and Rosabelle met the Principal of Duchesne, saw how the girls lived and knew it was the ideal place for Selina beyond her time at Downlands.

The next stop was to meet Dr Billings of UQ Law. Dr Peter showed Selina around and explained how Law as taught and outlined the assistance Selina would be given as she gained stride at UQ. Peter concentrates on Immigration Law and explained the importance of Aboriginal Land Rights and the need for expert involvement when negotiating mining leases.

Throughout the day Matthew and Rosabelle was guided by David Manning who had taught the first Tiwi kids who came south to Monivae in 1970 and who has be an important energiser and fund raiser for this program since it's inception.

Our purposes have been achieved:

1. For Selina's Parents to appreciate the possibilities being offered to Selina.

2. For the Various places to meet Mum and Dad and appreciate their support as Selina attempts this enormous step forward for her people.
