Why

Wadawurrung Traditional Owners  welcome the Surf Coast community to Country in Torquay on 26 January for reflection at Pilk Purriyn – sunrise – and deep listening to historic truth-telling. Welcoming people of all ages, genders, races, religions and backgrounds.

Starting at 5.30am with sun rising on the water, it will include a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony, and traditional song and dance.

At its heart, Traditional Owners will share truths seeking to deepen community understanding of the traumas, loss and hurt that colonisation brought upon the First Peoples of the land.
