Albany Plaza is on Minang country, we pay our respect to the traditional owners.  We pay our respects to Elders past and present and recognise their enduring care and connection to Country.

For six years, the Drawing Us Together initiative has celebrated Indigenous culture through the power of storytelling. This year, in honour of NAIDOC Week 2025 and its theme The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy, we’ve partnered with 13 incredible First Nations authors from across Australia to create a children’s storybook filled with short stories and poems inspired by this message.

We’re proud to share the audiobook edition of ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy’—a powerful listening experience that deepens our commitment to amplifying Indigenous voices and preserving cultural heritage. Listen now [HERE]

Since its launch in 2020, Drawing Us Together has worked with generations of students and talented authors to bring these stories to life. Explore previous editions and their audiobooks:
