Thank you to everyone who joined us & the Bindjareb Naidoc Community for the Naidoc week opening ceremony on November 14th 2022.

A wonderful opportunity to connect as a community and celebrate the rich culture, history & achievements of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples in Mandjoogoordap. Following the community walk, flag raising and speeches, comedian Kevin Kropenyeri entertained an enthusiastic crowd with his fantastic humour!
