A longstanding alliance is delivering projects that foster intergenerational, cultural exchange across NSW’s Mid North Coast. Established in 2010, the Saltwater Freshwater Arts Alliance has been driving change through innovative, arts and culture based programs designed for the Gumbaynggirr, Dunghutti, Biripi and Worimi Aboriginal communities across the Mid North Coast of NSW for more than 15 years.

Two-and-a-half years ago, farmer Sue McClure tried knitting scarves and blankets with indigenous art designs she found on the internet, but she "didn’t feel right about it". So Ms McClure decided to contact Warrnambool-based indigenous artist Sherry Johnstone, a Keerray Woorroong and Yorta Yorta woman. The collaboration between the women has led to a new business venture for Ms Johnstone, who started her own brand, Flash 1A, designing jumpers, hoodies, ponchos and dresses which will be produced on Ms McClure’s farm, on her knitting machine.
