Come together at the Museum at Inveresk to share stories, celebrate culture, and witness the unveiling of our community cloak.
Celebrate the beginning of NAIDOC Week with our FREE Morning Tea and experience the latest additions to the evolving community artwork, the Possum Skin Cloak.
NAIDOC Week 2025 marks a powerful milestone—50 years of honouring and elevating Indigenous voices, culture, and resilience.
This year’s theme, The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy, celebrates not only the achievements of the past but also the bright future ahead, empowered by the strength of our young leaders, the vision of our communities, and the enduring legacy of our ancestors.
