Join us for a family-friendly evening of First Nations culture and performing arts. Events kick off at 5.30pm with a Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony, followed by a talk by children’s entertainer Lucas Proudfoot, and traditional song and dance from the Muggera family. Then we'll wrap up the night with the rocking sounds of the Riverbank Band.

The Australia Day theme of Reflect, Respect, Celebrate brings together elders, artists and speakers to mark the day and show the way for the nation. We invite you to sit by the fire, listen and reflect on the Australian experience, from its ancient origins millennia ago to recent histories.
