We are going to open our Spinks Park rooms this Sunday, June 21st from 9 until 1 for Devonshire teas and a plant and craft stall. So if you need a bit of a quiet sit down after the Lantern Parade and while you’re at the Bowlo Market, pop down and see us. We are the brick building just through the Bowlo car park and next to the croquet club .

The beautiful bronze statue of two Aboriginal children in Spinks Park. Lismore CWA commemorates May 26, Sorry Day or the National Day of Healing in our nation’s calendar which recognises the “Bringing Them Home” report to parliament in 1997. This report acknowledged the ongoing harm and injustice suffered by successive governments’ cruel policy of forced assimilation, the removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their communities. Kevin Rudd, Australia’s then Prime Minister, issued a National Apology to our Indigenous peoples in 2008 which was one of the Report’s recommendations. Sadly many other recommendations have never been implemented. On Sorry Day, 2017, the Uluru Statement from the Heart was issued to institute a black Voice to Parliament which would correct the lack of social justice still suffered by our First Nations peoples. A referendum was held on ‘The Voice’ and was defeated in 2023.

Thanks Lismore Evening Branch for all the pics and commentary. A rollicking good time was had by all - hard work but so much fun. This is what community is all about. Stay tuned for details of funds raised for scholarships for Northern Rivers students.
