How much do you know about your ancestors?
In the iconic south-west corner of Australia, Sam Carmody set out to find out more about his. And what he found shocked him.
So many things in his local area are named after his family — even a highway, not to mention the statue of his great-great-great-grandfather in town.
But those tributes mask a bloody history of unthinkable acts of violence against the local Aboriginal community.
Sam's story of coming to terms with his family history, with help from the Noongar community, offers a road map for the truth-telling task facing Australia.
Then — it's been a rough few months for many of us, so how do we stay hopeful in the midst of a crisis?
Queen Jane has some answers — that's Jane Goodall, who shared with Soul Search's Meredith Lake what she's learnt from her favourite "teachers", including a chimpanzee, a dog, and a beech tree.
Don't miss this inspiring piece, and make sure to share it with anyone who needs a bit of cheering up.
Enjoy your weekend,
