“I want you to go home and talk to your grandkids and tell them where you were and what you learned. That’s why I run the Yarning Circle: so you can get a story and take it home.

We are spreading the word of our life, our stories. Your grandkid, boy or girl, one day could be the premier of Queensland, and will know something about what goes on in Yarning Circles.”
