Come walk with us this NAIDOC Week as we celebrate the strength, spirit, and stories of our Nyoongar people. This is a time for mob and community to come together to share, to learn, and to stand proud in who we are.

We’ll have powerful dance from Johnny Garlett, the deep sounds of the didgeridoo played by Elvis Moody, music from Jamie Garlett that speaks to Country, and poetry from Danno Hansen that carries our truth. There’ll be ceremony, kids’ activities, and plenty of good food to share.

This is more than an event it’s a celebration of the world’s oldest living cultures. It’s about connection, pride, and keeping our stories strong.

Bring your family, your friends, and your spirit. Let’s celebrate our culture loud and proud.

See you at 10am 👀
