The morning’s activities kick off at 11am and will conclude with lunch, traditional meat tasting as well as a sausage sizzle, fruit and drinks. 

There’ll be traditional dancers, basket weaving, a mini art exhibition in the Dreaming Centre’s new hub.

All community members are welcome to come along and be part of the event.

“As leaders, trailblazers, politicians, activists and social change advocates, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women fought and continue to fight, for justice, equal rights, our rights to country, for law and justice, access to education, employment and to maintain and celebrate our culture, language, music and art.”
