Kooringal Community Centre NAIDOC event

18 July 2022

Mission Australia held their NAIDOC week event at the Kooringal Community Centre. At the event they were giving away free Aboriginal flag inspired beanies and scarves.

This event was well attended by local Wiradjuri/Wiradyuri and First Nations youth, community members, and Elders and I was asked by Jenny to do an Acknowledgement of Country at the beginning of the event. I read Wagga Council's Acknowledgement in Wiradjuri/Wiradyuri language. They also had local Wiradjuri/Wiradyuri man Luke Wighton there to play the Didgeridoo and show the kids and community some cultural items.

It was a great event that everyone who attended enjoyed, and it was great to see so many people from Kooringal coming together to celebrate NAIDOC.
