Due to the recent wet weather and concerns around safe access to the site, NAIDOC Day on Nyangbul scheduled for Wednesday 7 October has been POSTPONED. 🌧️

This week, our community is also experiencing Sorry Business, and we want to ensure our families and community have the time and space to come together, pay their respects and support one another.

With both Sorry Business and the current weather conditions in mind, we feel postponing the event is the most respectful and safest decision.

A new date will be announced soon, and we look forward to bringing everyone together at Ngunya Jargoon IPA when the time is right. 🖤💛❤️
