The Learning Tree
This learning and community gathering place is being developed as a
community resource to teach new skills, store precious information about
the indigenous peoples of Australia and to educate non-indigenous
Australians about the culture and issues of the first Australians.
Established by the Townsville Thuringowa Community Justice Group, the site
includes an online classroom providing training in major office software
products. Over 100 computer training courses are planned as well as
assistance in business, job finding, budgeting, driver training, alcohol
management, domestic violence, legal rights and indigenous history. Access
to courses is free of cost to the learner.
In the future, this site will be shared with all indigenous communities
across Australia and provide each area and group their own web pages as
well as access to the learning materials housed on the site.
