We all love to celebrate and join in the activities for Australia Day and this year you can still enjoy this special day. It will be different in 2021 but there are a number of events going ahead and activities to do.

7.30am - 8.30am WagulOra Morning Ceremony (WagulOra - 'One Mob') An ancient Smoking Ceremony is something very special to witness. Signifying new beginnings, something we can all do with in 2021! WugulOra will celebrate through dance, music and language. There will be performances by Aboriginal & Torres Straight Islander dancers and singers, including the Koomurri Aboriginal Dance Troupe. The ceremony will be held at Headland Sage, Barangaroo Reserve - a ticket is required to attend and tickets will be announced in January. You can subscribe to the newsletter for ticket alerts, otherwise you can enjoy this ceremony from the comfort of your home via ABC TV.
