NAIDOC Week celebrations
A WELCOME and smoking ceremony began what was a special day of celebrations in Port Fairy last Saturday
People of all ages gathered at the Goods Shed in Railway Place on Saturday morning to celebrate NAIDOC Week.
The special event, titled ‘COO-EE!’ included live music from Uncle Kutcha Edwards and Uncle David Arden, along with dancing, didgeridoo playing and learning about artifacts and history.
A highlight for many visitors was the opportunity to browse the quality stalls at the Blak Market, which featured arts and crafts from local Indigenous creatives, and to taste some authentic bush tucker.
The event was organised by Yidaki Support Services and Wellways Australia, with support form the Moyne Shire Council.
