Why

On the eve of what many know as Australia Day, Shepparton Region Reconciliation Group invites you to stand as an ally with First Nations People as we gather to acknowledge the profound grief and loss experienced since the invasion of their unceded lands. Together, let us honour truth, memory and resilience as we walk the path of reconciliation.

All welcome. BYO chair or picnic rug. This is an ally led event in support of First Nations community.
