The
Yabun Festival is a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures that lays claim to being the biggest event of its kind anywhere in Australia. It's held annually on January 26 and 2015 will be the 13th event that has taken place.
The location for this festival is Victoria Park, next to
Sydney University, in Camperdown. The site is part of the traditional lands of the Gadigal people.
