What a start to NAIDOC week! loved joining our @Life Without Barriers team for the NAIDOC Awabakal March along the foreshore of the lands of the Awabakal and Worimi Peoples. Incredible turn out and the spirit and energy with our team was palpable ❤️ 💛 🖤. And yes I took a selfie - quite hard with a group that big but I think it captures the joy.
We started at Civic Park for a Welcome and Smoking ceremony, the theme 'BLAK, LOUD and PROUD' was spoken to with such fire and vibrancy, it was beyond moving. Herbie our therapy dog for the central coast region also joined us for the walk. Needless to say, Herbie is hugely popular and I think needs his own profile account...
Later in the afternoon our team continued the celebrations with songs, dances and time to gather and connect.
Spirt, determination, love, strength, unity, culture - so many things to reflect on from yesterday. We continue our celebrations across the week, supporting other organisations as they create moments to celebrate the incredible contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to the identity of this nation.
