National Sorry Day
Today is National Sorry Day, an annual event that has been held in Australia on May 26 since 1998, to remember and commemorate the mistreatment of our country's Indigenous population. It commemorates the day the "Bringing Them Home" report was tabled in Parliament (on May 26, 1997). This date carries great significance for the Stolen Generations, as well as for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and its supporters among non-indigenous Australians. This year will also see the 55th anniversary of the 1967 Referendum, where 90.77% of Australian voters elected to give constitutional recognition to Indigenous Australians; and the 30th anniversary of the landmark Mabo High Court decision, which overturned the doctrine of "terra nullius" and recognised Indigenous land rights for the first time. Cherbourg will be marking today with a public holiday - and also a 7-hour blackout so that Ergon can carry out some extensive improvements to the town's power supply (you can read more about this power upgrade on our website).
Thursday Social Golf - Blackbutt
The Blackbutt Golf Club at 51 Langton Road in Blackbutt will be running social golf games from 3:00pm this afternoon. For just $5, guests can play six holes in the great outdoors in a relaxing atmosphere. The bar will also be open and pies, mushy peas and potatoes will be available as well. Everyone is welcome! More details? Phone the club on (07) 4163-0180.

The Birds Of A Feather cancer support group will be holding their regular 4th Thursday of the month meeting at Kingaroy RSL in Markwell Street, Kingaroy at 10:00am this morning.
