Decked out in a blue and yellow uniform of a firefighter is Burra, a 23-year-old Aboriginal boy from Brewarrina. Not only was he the first person on his fathers side to complete his Higher School Certificate but he is also the first crew leader of the newly formed All-Indigenous Mitigation Squad in regional New South Wales. Crisscrossing our way across vast North West New South Wales and flying over Australia's most hidden tourist attraction The Brewarrina Fishtraps, we stumbled upon Christopher "Burra" Mchughes. Not only is Burra a natural leader he is a keen photographer, and a shining example of what people in his community look up to. A Ngemba Gamilaraay man, Burra is dedicated to his Aboriginal heritage, and as we sit listening to the flow of the Barwon River and marvel at the fish traps, Burra tells us of his heritage, his community as a whole and his hopes and dreams to one day be a Paramedic giving back to his people. This young man will probably be Australia's next Prime Minister, yep i'd go that far.. So take 20 minutes out of your busy schedule to meet Burra, you won't regret it.
