Big NAIDOC Celebrations on Worimi Country

1 August, 2016

Reflections on Community Continuing Its Songlines

Hundreds of people turned out to the Murrook Cultural Centre for Worimi Local Aboriginal Land Council’s annual NAIDOC Family Fun Day.

The day capped off a big week for the LALC, which included a community march, flag raising and morning tea at Port Stephens Council, and a special barbecue and laying of wreaths at the Apex Park Cenotaph.

OurMob visited Murrook for a wet but fun day for NAIDOC, Worimi style! We hope you enjoy our video below.

Worimi LALC runs its successful business Sand Dune Adventures on its land, and stay tuned for a closer look at the business, in the forthcoming October OurMob.
