Sean's energetic, engaging and truly captivating personality, brought culture to life through storytelling, performance and humour. Students were not only entertained, but also gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of Australia's rich Indigenous heritage.

Edmonton Police, Whichway Yarning, talking about Queensland Road Safety Week 2026. Queensland Road Safety Week runs from Monday 17th to Friday 21st August 2026 across Queensland. This yearβs theme, βWeβre one Queensland, letβs drive like itβ, reinforces that road safety is a shared responsibility. Reducing deaths and serious injuries on our roads requires a collective effort from police, government, community groups, organisations and all road users. Behind every statistic is a person and family changed forever. Police encourage you all to remember the "Fatal 5": Speed, Fatigue, Seatbelts, Distraction, Drink and Drug Driving and Moods affecting Safe Driving.
