Indigenous school children from western New South Wales have taken a dip in the ocean for the first time — a welcome change after nine weeks of isolation due to flooding.
About 40 students from Brewarrina and surrounding towns in north-western New South Wales travelled more than 700 kilometres with a group of carers to South Narrabeen in northern Sydney.
They are taking part in a volunteer-led bush-to-beach program, which resumed for the first time since 2020 after it was put on hold due to COVID-19 and flooding.
