The Big Brekky on 8CCC 8CCC Radio

Last Friday, the country’s first First Nations community-owned and grid connected renewable energy project was unveiled right here in the Barkly Region, making it a milestone not only for the Territory, but the nation. 

The Marlinja Microgrid was launched with a celebration fitting for a project five years in the making, and here to tell us all about it is Orginal Power's Marlinja Community Liaison Officer, Chantelle Johns.

Wilya Janta Aboriginal Corporation's CEO, Dr Simon Quilty, from Tennant Creek updates the Big Brekky about the newly re-engineered brick-making machine which can now support communities across the Barkly to make their own bricks from their own Country. Primarily using termite mounds and spinifex, the bricks are part of a larger plan for environmentally and culturally-appropriate housing on Warumungu country. Local plumber Nathan McAuliffe has been an integral part of the renovation.
