Why

Ngarrama is an invitation for all to bring along your friends, family and a picnic blanket to engage in meaningful reconciliation through truth-telling, performances, song, and historical acceptance.

Ngarrama is a free event but please reserve your spot.

This event is an opportunity for the Newcastle community to come together on the eve of Australia/Survival Day to reflect on traditional life in Mooloobinba before 1788 and to celebrate the richness and resilience of First Nations culture - in particular the Awabakal and Worimi people, the traditional owners of the land upon which Newcastle now stands.

Ngarrama translates to 'to sit, listen, and know’. It will be a time for listening and quiet reflection through the sharing of stories, knowledge and culture.

  • This is an alcohol free event.
  • BYO all food and non-alcoholic drinks.
  • Water bottles can be filled at the Hunter Water station.
  • Food will not be available to purchase on the night.

Ngarrama is a free event but please eserve your spot.
