Mr. M Wilson

To the family of the late Mr M Wilson, as well as to his family, friends and the Milikapiti Community of Tiwi Islands.

We as the TEABBA Chairmen, Board of Directors, Membership and Staff, sadly feel your loss of this incredible person, and our sincere heartfelt condolences go out to each and every one of you.

Taken too early, and the news of his passing was devastating to the TEABBA family and the Indigenous Media Industry.

After his Family and Community, Mr M Wilson loved all things media, who engaged in multiple creative platforms, by being a member of Top End Aboriginal Bush Broadcasting Association (TEABBA) for over 30 years.

Mr M Wilson showed his passion as a BRACS, now known as RIBS Broadcaster, locally in his Milikapiti Community awhile back but always jumped on air to do a show and broadcast to the 29 remote communities across the Top End of Australia at the TEABBA Studio when he came into town for a workshop, AGM or Board meeting.

His creativity overflowed into film, where he was selected to direct two short story documentaries for the Yarning Up series. "Ten Wives" and "Tiwi and the Dutch".

These films were screened all over the world at various film festivals. "Ten Wives" won a Garla Award at the Darwin Film Festival, and "Tiwi and the Dutch" was followed up by the Dutch museum doing an audio podcast with him in his voice for their archive collection, about this documentary.

TEABBA will always remember you, Mr Wilson, and "your voice in the bush".
