The Katherine West health Board have developed a cultural orientation DVD and placed it up on the web
Our Story Part 1
Our Story Part 2
Working Together Part 1
Working Together Part 2
Working Together Part 3
These stories were developed and mostly filmed, animated by young people in Warburton and Warakurna. They have identified ways of health seeking, appropriate services, supporting each other, problem solving and identity through these stories. Young people really engaged and enjoyed the workshops and processes involved in the development and provided fantastic learning opportunities around problem solving.

The little rubber device to prevent issue is one of the mainstays in preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
But how are they made? How can we be sure they work?
The following video (made by BillyBoy condoms) explains all including the quality testing. I love the monotone describing the condom brands: “Billy Boy Fun, the condom with the fun factor”.
Did you know the aromatic flavour is added just before packaging? You do now.
update: @ricardon was so amazed that condoms are stress tested to 18 litres he went and looked up how much semen each man produces in his lifetime.
369.6 litres.
Just as well we don’t produce it all at once.
