Tiriki Onus is awarded the inaugural Harold Blair scholarship for Aboriginal opera singers. Blair is a close family friend to Tirirki. Blair worked with Tiriki’s grandfather, Bill Onus, in his souvenir business, Aboriginal Enterprises. Tiriki is thus a direct descendant of Martha Everingham (Hibbs) of Wollombi and later Sackville Reserve. (Da Capo Magazine, 2012, 6-7)
