Hailing from northwest NSW, Bruce’s connection to Australia’s Namoi, Barwon, and Darling Rivers runs deep as he calls attention to the part rivers play in the stories, knowledge and lives of the Aboriginal people. As a cultural educator in Sydney, he leads a revival dance group and launched the Water for Rivers campaign to address the devastation caused by water theft by large cotton farmers and irrigators. In October 2019, Bruce united communities along the river in a Corroboree, emphasising the importance of First Nations peoples’ connections to land and water. Committed to fixing the Murray-Darling Basin crisis, Bruce continues to be a powerful voice for change. Learn more about Water for Rivers on their Facebook page, and Bruce’s ventures on Instagram.
