NAIDOC Open Day Celebration - Cherbourg
This week (1st to 8th July) is NAIDOC Week.

Cherbourg's Ration Shed Museum and Historical Precinct at 19 Barambah Avenue in Cherbourg will be celebrating NAIDOC Week this year with an Open Day from 11:00am onwards. This get-together will feature community events, camp oven cookery and youth activities provided by the PCYC and YACCA, as well as tours of the complex. There'll also be live entertainment from 10:30am onwards including a performance by the Wakka Wakka Dancers, music from Muddy Flats and lots more. The winners of the NAIDOC Week art competition will be announced, and slideshows and films will be screened in the old Dormitory Building. Admission is free and everyone is welcome! More details?
