Dr Bush Blanasi



The Smoking of the TEABBA Building. 

Due to the passing of Dr Bush Blanasi, who was a long-time member, Board member and Chairperson of the Top End Aboriginal Bush Broadcasting Association (TEABBA), it was only fitting that a cultural smoking of the TEABBA Building needed to happen. 

This celebration was shared with current Directors of the Board, members, staff, and members of the Bush Blanasi Family. The special occasion was driven by the passion of Ms Delma McCartney of Barunga, and her lifetime ties to Dr Bush Blanasi. 

Also to acknowledge, when the time was right Ms Mae Mae Morrison and John Wilson by showing great compassion and personal contributions towards making pathways for this smoking to take place. 

Deep appreciation and thanks are extended to Conway Bush Blanasi and family for ensuring the smoking for Dr Bush Blanasi happened in a respectful and culturally appropriate to his heritage, and status.
