Aboriginal Cultural Day 20 September 2016 at Blackburn Lake

What a great day this was on 20 September. The weather was kind to us and there were so many wonderful aspects of indigenous culture to experience. Here I am with John Baxter the Convenor of our Whitehorse Friends For Reconciliation Group. Much planning went into the organisation of the day. Cassie Leathman should be congratulated for her presentation of bush tucker and indigenous craft pictured below and Turtles Australia also contributed to the day by bringing along some very curious long necked characters to educate us about our native species.

Gathered at the Yarning Circle, visitors enjoyed the music from the Mullum Mullum Choir and learnt about the significance of the indigenous flags and ceremonies. The "Barramundi Man" Colin, cooked beautiful steamed fish in the traditional way. We also thank the Land Rover Club for their help with the BBQ and provision of sausages.
