NAIDOC Week

This week, 4-11 July 2021, is NAIDOC Week .

NAIDOC Week celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life.

It’s a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support our local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

The 2021 theme, Heal Country!, is a reminder to us all of the importance of looking after the land that provides for and sustains us, as well as looking after one another.

Heal Country!

Celebrate NAIDOC Week by joining Meriam chef, Nornie Bero of Mabu Mabu, as she shares her love of Australian Indigenous foods and flavours.

She'll talk through some fantastic Indigenous ingredients and will show participants how they can incorporate Australian native fruits, herbs, spices and flavours into their own home-cooking.
