Join in NAIDOC Week celebrations There’s still time to take part in 2015 NAIDOC week celebrations in Clermont. On Friday (July 17) at 9am, join in a free Cultural Safety Workshop with Guest Speaker Richard Frankland and enjoy a performance by the Weirdi Binbi Traditional Owners and Saima Dance Group on at the Civic Centre. A Community Dinner with live entertainment and DJ is on 6pm Friday night (July 17) and everyone is welcome. Entry is $10. If a family day out is more up your alley, come along to Centenary Park on Saturday morning (July 18). A Parade and Cultural Fun Day starts at 9am. There’ll be traditional dance, parade, live entertainment, stalls and a closing ceremony at 1.45pm. Traditional Owner Elizabeth McAvoy has run a busy program during this week, celebrating indigenous culture
with our community. Traditional Owners, Elders, Mayor Anne Baker, Isaac Region Councillors and community attended an Opening Ceremony on Monday which included a flag raising ceremony, dance, didgeridoo playing and bush tucker samples during morning tea and lunch. The schools have enjoyed visits and performances from traditional dance troupe the Weirdi Binbi Traditional Owners Group and learnt about this year’s NAIDOC Week Theme ‘We All Stand On Sacred Ground – Learn, Respect and Celebrate’. If you’re interested in having a stall at the Cultural Fun Day on Saturday, please contact Elizabeth McAvoy on 0473 670 215.
